Business Owner’s Insurance in Texas: Smart Protection for Your Livelihood
Running a business in Texas means opportunity—and risk. Whether you own a boutique in Austin, a food truck in Round Rock, or a tech startup in San Antonio, a Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) helps protect what you’ve built.
At Alamo Shield Insurance Agency, we specialize in helping Texas entrepreneurs safeguard their operations with coverage that’s clear, affordable, and tailored to your industry.
What Is a Business Owner’s Policy (BOP)?
A BOP bundles essential coverages into one convenient policy:

• General Liability: Covers legal costs if someone is injured on your premises or if you’re held responsible for property damage
• Commercial Property: Protects your building, equipment, inventory, and signage from fire, theft, vandalism, and more
• Business Interruption: Covers lost income and operating expenses if your business is forced to close temporarily due to a covered event
  Optional add-ons include:
• Professional Liability (E&O)
• Cyber Liability
• Workers’ Compensation
• Commercial Auto
  💼 Who Needs Business Owner’s Insurance?
  BOPs are ideal for small to mid-sized businesses that:
• Operate from a physical location (office, storefront, warehouse)
• Have customer foot traffic
• Own valuable equipment or inventory
• Want bundled coverage at a lower cost
  Common industries include retail, hospitality, food service, professional services, and light manufacturing.
