Business Owner’s Policy Insurance
What is a business owner’s policy (BOP)?
A Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) offers an affordable way for small businesses to get the coverage they need. It’s designed specifically for small business owners who want broad protection without high costs. Additionally, it bundles general liability and property insurance into a single package, which simplifies managing your policies. This means fewer bills to pay and less paperwork to handle. By doing this, you save money while staying protected from common risks.
