Questions about the BOP

What is a Business Owners' Policy (BOP)?
The BOP combines property and casualty coverage into one policy. Business owners' policies usually provide industry-specific P&C coverage to protect equipment and facilities. The BOP is intended for small to medium-sized firms.

Why do I need a BOP?
The BOP contains property coverages essential to running a business. Almost every organization depends on some kind of specialized property to do business. Be it valuable papers, laptops or surveying equipment, property coverage protects you against loss of or damage to these essential pieces of your business. It only takes one disaster to wipe out your equipment.

The BOP's casualty coverages are equally important. General liability coverage is the most basic type of commercial insurance and one of the most important. Most landlords even require their tenants to carry it. GL coverage immediately protects your business from injury and property damage claims that could seriously impact your business.

What we offer
The BOP provides property and casualty coverage for business-specific exposures. The minimum premium is $500 in most states. See our Policy Highlights for more information.

The BOP is intended for small to medium-sized firms. Larger firms, those with complicated risks, or design/build firms should consider our TCPP.
