SO, WHAT IS A BOP?
It is a discounted insurance package called a Business Owners Policy or “BOP” for short! A BOP provides dozens of built-in additional coverages and extensions of coverage without additional premium charge. Think of it as a Homeowners Insurance policy for your Business.

The typical BOP can provide coverage for buildings & business personal property (without coinsurance penalty), loss of business income or rents & extra expense (actual loss/no limit), Business Liability including host liquor, Medical Payments, Money & Securities, Employee Dishonesty with options to add Business Autos, Non-owned Hired Auto Liability, Inland Marine (Tools & Equipment floaters), Excess Liability (Umbrellas), select Professional Liability and many other coverages.
WHO QUALIFIES FOR A BOP?
