Business Owners Policy (BOP)

One package that bundles property, general liability, and business income coverage for qualifying small and mid-sized businesses.

A Business Owners Policy — usually called a BOP — packages the coverages most small businesses need into one policy. It’s simpler to manage, usually costs less than buying each piece separately, and it’s one of the most common ways we set up coverage for small and mid-sized businesses in the Ohio Valley.

What a BOP includes

  • Commercial property for your building, equipment, and inventory
  • General liability for injuries and property damage you cause to others
  • Business income to replace lost income after a covered loss

Common add-ons

  • Equipment breakdown
  • Data breach and cyber coverage
  • Hired and non-owned auto liability
  • Employee dishonesty
  • Spoilage, signs, and outdoor property

Who a BOP is right for

BOPs are built for offices, retail stores, restaurants, service businesses, landlords, and many contractors. If your business is larger or has specialized risks, we’ll build the same protection with separate general liability and commercial property policies instead.

Why an independent agency matters

Every carrier writes its BOP a little differently — eligibility rules, included coverages, and optional endorsements vary. Because we work with multiple insurance companies, we can compare BOPs side by side and find the one that fits your business.

FAQ

Business Owners Policy (BOP) questions, answered.

What's included in a Business Owners Policy?

A BOP combines commercial property, general liability, and business income coverage in one policy. Many carriers include or offer add-ons like equipment breakdown, data breach, and hired and non-owned auto.

Is a BOP cheaper than buying coverage separately?

Often, yes. Bundling property and liability into one package usually costs less than buying the same coverage on separate policies — as long as your business qualifies.

Does my business qualify for a BOP?

BOPs are designed for smaller, lower-risk businesses such as offices, retail shops, restaurants, and many contractors. Eligibility depends on your size, revenue, building, and type of work. If you don't qualify, we'll build a package with separate policies instead.

What does a BOP not cover?

A BOP does not include commercial auto, professional liability, or employment practices liability. We write those separately and can set them up alongside your BOP.
