Business Owner Policy - BOP
Businessowners insurance policy is a type of business insurance that falls under commercial insurance division of property and casualty insurance.
Business Owner Policy
also known as BOP is a type of business insurance policy that combines
commercial property insurance, commercial general liability insurance,
and business interruption sometimes referred to as business income under
one package and it’s intended for small to medium size business owners. Optional coverage such as accounts receivable, valuable papers, sign and crime insurance may be added to the policy. Business Owners always face all kinds of risk and it’s a good idea to protect the business from every possible angle. In addition to the above-mentioned coverage, business owner policy offers a wide range of additional coverage. Thus considering all the available optional coverage under a Businessowners (BOP) policy is indeed a good risk management technique.
Types of businesses
that qualify for a Businesowners Policy includes apartment building
with 60 units or less and 6 stories or less, office building with 100,000
square feet or less and less than 3 stories, mercantile space not to
exceed 7500 square feet, bars, condominium, restaurants, food and beverage
establishments, manufacturers, mercantile risks and certain contractors.
Prior to development
of Businessowners policy, the small businesses had to purchase the coverage
separately and generally paid a higher
premium. BOP by combining the coverage and offering it at
a lower price to qualified small businesses made a great addition to
business insurance.

terms may differ substantially from one insurance company
to other, thus the need
