A Business Owners Policy (BOP) is an insurance package designed specifically for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) that combines several types of coverage into one policy. BOPs are typically tailored to meet the needs of specific industries and businesses, providing comprehensive protection at a more affordable premium compared to purchasing individual policies separately.
