Business Owners Policy (BOP)
Many business owners choose to purchase a business owners policy, which is a bundled package of all the necessary insurance a business owner needs. Although BOP policies can vary due to each company's needs, they typically include property damage, liability and commercial automobile coverage. This is a popular option for business owners because they can save money when purchasing a bundled package.
