What Is Business Owner’s Policy (BOP)?

A Business Owner’s Policy bundles core protections many small and mid-sized businesses need, typically combining general liability with commercial property coverage. It’s designed to cover common accidents, damage, and disruptions in one streamlined policy.

What Does Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) Cover?

A BOP commonly includes general liability and property coverage, and can add business income protection. It helps with third-party injury or damage claims, covered building or contents losses, and certain downtime costs after a covered event.

Customer injury at your location

A client slips on a wet entryway and needs medical care. A BOP’s liability coverage can help pay for medical costs, legal defense, and a settlement if your business is held responsible.

Fire damages equipment and inventory

An electrical issue sparks a small fire that ruins stock and damages tools. Property coverage in a BOP can help pay to repair or replace covered items, minus your deductible.

Forced closure after a covered loss

After a covered property claim, your shop has to close for repairs. If business income coverage is included, it can help replace lost income and cover certain ongoing expenses during the restoration period.

Key Features of Business Owner’s Policy (BOP)

Bundled coverage built for everyday risk

Instead of piecing together separate policies, a BOP packages the protections many businesses rely on most, which can simplify renewals, certificates, and claims.

Options to tailor the policy to your operations

Many BOPs can be adjusted with add-ons based on what you do and where you do it, such as higher liability limits, equipment coverage, or expanded protection for certain property exposures.

Practical protection for downtime

When a covered property loss interrupts operations, business income coverage, when included, can help you keep paying key bills and weather the gap until you are back up and running.
