What Type of Insurance Do I Need for My Concrete Business?

Many concrete businesses have a Business Owner's Policy (BOP) for the peace of mind it provides. It helps protect against claims of bodily injury and property damage.
A BOP is a good foundation for an insurance plan because it combines three essential types of coverage into a single policy: 
 
General liability insurance helps protect your concrete business from claims that it caused bodily injury or property damage to someone else.
 
Commercial property insurance helps protect your owned or rented building, as well as equipment, supplies and inventory that you rely on to operate your concrete business, including:
 
  • Mixers
  • Screeds
  • Floats
  • Plate compactors
  • Wheelbarrows
  • Shovels
Business income insurance helps replace your lost income if you can't temporarily operate because of property damage caused by fire, wind or theft.
