What is the average cost of a business owners policy, or BOP insurance?  BOP insurance costs generally depend on your business operation and how large or small your business is.  Below is an informative outline of business insurance policy costs throughout the country.

Average cost of Business Owners Policy or BOP insurance

Over the past 5 years of all clients surveyed, as of 2015 the average cost of business owners policy or BOP insurance has been $572, with a medium price of $430.  Increased property coverage typically increases premium costs.  

This average takes into account the fact that most policyholders have basic BOP policies without many additional add-on coverages.  If a business needs other coverages like hired and non-owned auto liability, a commercial umbrella, employee benefits liability, or other essential coverages, then the premiums paid can increase well above the average.
