Get More with Our BOP Insurance

While many insurance companies offer a standard package policy including property and liability coverage for owners of small- to medium-sized businesses, Mutual Benefit raises the standard. We automatically add our Business Accent coverage to your businessowners package at no additional charge.

  • Accounts Receivable – Provides $10,000 coverage for Accounts Receivable, which pays for the cost of reconstructing your accounts receivable records if they are damaged or destroyed, and can even cover payments that cannot be collected if you can’t reconstruct your records.
  • Equipment Breakdown Coverage – Made available through the Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company, this covers such things as damage to your computer hard drive due to power surges.
  • Business Income – Reimburses you if your earnings are interrupted should your business need to be shut down for a time to recover from a loss, such as a fire or a windstorm.
  • Seasonal Increase – Boosts your limit of insurance for seasonal variations in the amount of business personal property/inventory you keep on hand.
