Business Owner Policy
Combining three individual coverages into a single policy will save you money while making it easier to manage and keep track of your commercial insurance. Here’s more on the individual elements that you can expect to see included in a BOP for your barber shop.
Commercial General Liability Coverage
This is designed to protect you from third-party claims of personal injury or damage to property. Think, a trip in the salon on a freshly cleaned floor that is still a little wet, OR, the pot of cleaning solution for your tools accidentally spilling onto a client’s coat. It also applies if you visit clients in their homes or places of work, as it covers accidental damage you may cause to their property as well.
Business Property Insurance
Commercial property coverage will cover the physical salon you lease or own, along with providing protection for any inventory and equipment as well.
Business Interruption Insurance
Not all insurers include this in a BOP, but many will. It gives you a set-level of protection that could replace lost income in the event you cannot operate after a covered event on your policy.
Professional Liability
As part of your day-to-day business, you use chemicals and sharp tools. Having professional liability coverage, or Errors and Omissions insurance as it is also known, will give you peace of mind that should you be faced with legal action arising from the provision of your services, you have coverage in place to pay for a legal defence and any subsequent settlements.
Product Liability
This only applies to your barber shop if you sell products to clients. If you do, then having this could prevent you from undue financial stress should a product you sell cause harm to a person or their property.
Employee Insurance for a Barber shop
Depending on whether or not you hire people, you’ll also need to consider buying insurance for your staff. This could include, workers compensation coverage and employment practices liability insurance, or EPLI for short.
