What Is a Business Owners Policy (BOP)?

Truscott Team
July 10, 2026
5 min read

A business owners policy, usually called a BOP, bundles the most important coverages a small business needs into a single, cost-effective package. For many owners, it is the simplest way to get solid protection without buying each piece separately.

What a BOP typically includes

  • General liability: covers third-party injuries and property damage your business causes.
  • Commercial property: protects your building, equipment, and inventory.
  • Business interruption: replaces income if a covered event forces you to close temporarily.

Who a BOP is designed for

BOPs are built for small and mid-sized businesses with modest risk profiles: retailers, offices, and service providers. Very large or high-hazard operations usually need custom policies instead.

What a BOP does not cover

A BOP is a strong foundation, but it typically excludes things like workers' compensation, professional liability, commercial auto, and cyber risk. Most businesses add those as needed alongside the BOP.

What Truscott recommends

A BOP is often the best value starting point for a small business, then you layer on what your specific work requires. Explore business insurance options or request a free quote.
