What is business personal property insurance?

Business personal property insurance protects assets located in the workspace that you own or rent, including equipment, computers, furnishings, inventory, and more. Your BPP insurance can cover the cost of replacing these items if they’re damaged or stolen.

BPP coverage can be added to any Berxi general liability insurance policy as an optional endorsement, so you can get two-in-one protection for your business and your equipment.

What does business personal property insurance cover?

If the assets in your workspace are damaged or stolen, your business personal property insurance can pay to replace them. The assets covered by BPP insurance include:

Equipment

Tools, machinery, and other items located in your place of business.

Computers

Monitors, computers, printers, and other devices in your workspace.

Furniture

Desks, tables, chairs, artwork, and other furniture items at your business.

Fixtures

Lighting, built-in filing cabinets, and shelving in your workspace.

Supplies

Stationary and other business supplies that aren’t for resale.

Inventory

Stock, goods, and other merchandise stored in your workspace.

Who needs business personal property insurance?

Business personal property insurance is essential for small businesses that operate a workspace that they lease or own, such as a workshop, office, fitness and wellness studio, lab, storefront, or garage.

For instance, if you operate a gym or Pilates studio with exercise equipment, you’ll want BPP coverage in case the equipment is damaged. Or if you own a lawncare business, you’ll need BPP insurance to protect your lawnmowers and other landscaping equipment. Basically, any business with tools, equipment, inventory, and computers may benefit from BPP coverage.

Business personal property insurance FAQ

BPP stands for business personal property insurance, which protects your business’s assets, including equipment, tools, computers, furnishings, inventory, and more from damage and theft. If these assets are damaged or stolen, your BPP coverage can pay to replace them.

The amount of BPP coverage you need depends on the value of the business property you want to protect. Luckily, we make it easy to determine how much coverage you need: you simply tell us the estimated value to replace your business property, and we’ll figure out the amount of coverage that’s right for you.

No, business personal property insurance isn’t the same as commercial property insurance. Commercial property insurance is a broader policy that covers a building that your business owns and its contents, while business personal property insurance is the specific coverage that protects the assets inside your workspace, such as furniture, inventory, and equipment. For this reason, BPP coverage is often a better option for businesses that lease or rent their workspace.

No, standard homeowners insurance offers very limited or no coverage for business equipment. If your homeowners policy does cover business equipment, it typically caps the coverage at around $2,500. In fact, a standard homeowners policy can even be voided by business activity. To protect the business equipment in your home, you need business coverage, such as business personal property insurance. Homeowners insurance protects your home, not your business assets, which require dedicated commercial coverage like BPP insurance.

Business personal property insurance is available as an endorsement to Berxi’s general liability insurance policies. An endorsement is essentially an optional add-on to your general liability policy that gives you additional coverage — in this case, BPP coverage. When you choose to add BPP coverage to your general liability insurance policy, you get coverage for your business assets, such as tools, computers, equipment, machinery, furniture, office supplies, and more. If these assets are damaged or stolen, your BPP policy can help replace them.
