Business Owners Policy

Insurance companies and their professional agents often combine coverage from a number of policies into a package sold as a single contract. One of these is the BOP, an acronym for Business Owners Policy. This policy is used primarily for covering small to medium sized businesses.

Some of these risks may include extra expenses and risks associated with the use of electronic commerce as well as the loss of income in the event of a hacker or malware attack. Data loss recovery expenses also have to be covered in additional coverage.
