Business Owner's Policy

What is a Business Owner's Policy?

hashtag
What is a Business Owner's Policy?

A Business Owner's Policy (BOP) is a comprehensive insurance package designed specifically for small businesses. It combines two essential coverages, general liability and property insurance, into a single policy so small business owners can protect their business property and assets while also having coverage for third-party claims. Liability and property coverage are typically mandatory for many small business classes.

hashtag
What are the benefits of BOP to small businesses?

  • Cost Savings: By bundling general liability and property policies, BOP insurance offers substantial cost savings compared to purchasing each policy individually. This smart consolidation enables small business owners to access comprehensive coverage while keeping expenses in check.

  • Streamlined Experience: BOP insurance simplifies the purchasing experience for small business owners with its standardized package. By consolidating multiple coverages into a single policy, small business owners can efficiently manage only one insurance policy instead of several, freeing up resources to focus on critical aspects of their business.

hashtag
Key Takeaway

A BOP policy from Authentic serves as the Swiss army knife of small business insurance, providing a wide range of coverage options tailored to your specific needs. Depending on your selected policy, an Authentic BOP policy offers coverage for property damages, injuries on your premises, court and legal fees, business income interruptions, advertising mistakes, employee misrepresentation, inventory replacement, and more.

Captive Insurance

hashtag
What is Captive Insurance?

Captive insurance is a type of insurance where a business provides coverage to itself. Authentic uses this model to enable vertical software platforms, business roll-ups, associations, and other communities to create their own insurance programs and capture underwriting profits.

hashtag
Captive Structure

In the last decade, captive structures have emerged as a powerful alternative to standard business insurance. Whereas a majority of companies previously relied on external insurers, a captive structure allows them to own their own insurance program. The benefits? Captives not only help you save on insurance, but it allows you to gain from it, your business also can provide customized coverage, improve cash flows, and take potential tax advantages.

chevron-rightHow does it work?hashtag
  1. A parent sets up a captive insurance company (think of it as its own company), which assumes the risks of the parent and potentially other affiliated partners.

  2. The captive assesses the businesses risks and determines appropriate premium amounts from the parent company

chevron-rightHow does Authentic use the captive structure?hashtag

The captive structure has many benefits that enables businesses, but setting up and managing a captive requires careful planning, risk assessment, and compliance with regulations. Because of all these barriers to entry, captive insurance has not been an ideal model for businesses, until now.

Authentic is democratizing the world of captive insurance by providing a turnkey platform for partners, making the setup and maintenance process significantly easier. With our modern insurance stack, we eliminate the cost and complexity of captives, enabling your business to seamlessly integrate insurance offerings into your existing customer channels.

Customizable Packages: BOP is a package built for small businesses. In addition to general liability and property coverage, Authentic provides optional add-ons such as workers' compensation insurance, professional liability coverage, and franchise coverage. This flexibility ensures that your policy is precisely aligned with your business's unique demands.

Premiums paid by operating businesses to the captive are then invested to generate returns and further strengthen the captives financial position

  • The captive utilizes the collected premiums as a line to pay for any covered losses or claims.

Traditional insurance companies generate profit by collecting premiums exceeding claims and expenses; Authentic empowers partners to take ownership of their insurance programs and receive both commission and underwriting profit.

    Our goal is to offer our partners more meaningful incentives and flexibility in managing and benefiting from their insurance programs. This approach aligns the interests of Authentic and our partners as both parties are impacted by the success of the program.
