Explanation
A BOP is a packaged policy designed for eligible small-to-mid-sized businesses (such as offices, retail stores, small apartment buildings, and many restaurants below stated size limits). It bundles commercial property, business income, and general liability — typically with options for crime, equipment breakdown, and other coverages — into a single, simplified contract.
