General liability also protects you from losses or damages that occur due to products you sell your clients, or services you have already performed.
Business Owners Policy (Bop)
A business owners policy (BOP) includes the comprehensive coverage of general liability while adding important protection for small businesses. A BOP protects your consulting services company from suffering financial losses due to loss of physical or intangible business assets.
If your company’s office building suffers damage from a fire or earthquake for example, the BOP will cover the cost of repairing or replacing the building. BOP also protects you from the loss of computer equipment, office furnishings, and media files that are critical to the operation of your consulting services.
BOP protects intangibles such as accounts receivables and loss of income. If your offices are destroyed due to an earthquake and business is interrupted for several months, BOP can replace the income that you are unable to make during that down time.
