    Business Owners Policy (BOP)

    A Business Owners Policy bundles general liability, commercial property, and business interruption into a single policy at a single price — usually at meaningful savings compared to buying the three separately. For eligible small and mid-size businesses, it's almost always the right structure to start with.

    Coverage

    What this coverage includes

    • General liability — bodily injury, property damage, personal and advertising injury
    • Commercial property — building, business personal property, tenant improvements
    • Business interruption — usually included automatically, often with a 12-month period of indemnity
    • Equipment breakdown — frequently included or available as a low-cost add-on
    • Crime and employee dishonesty — within sub-limits, expandable by endorsement
    • Cyber liability — increasingly bundled at modest sub-limits, with the option to expand or stand alone
    • Hired and non-owned auto — available by endorsement on most BOPs

    Why Koosh

    Why Koosh Insurance

    A BOP is simple in structure but the underwriting is sensitive — a small operational detail or class-code error can move you out of BOP appetite and into a more expensive standalone program. We get the details right.

    Eligibility shopping across multiple carriers — different BOP carriers have very different appetites.

    Coverage comparison, not just price comparison — sub-limits, exclusions, and what's bundled all vary.

    Renewal market check every cycle — when the incumbent gets uncompetitive, we shop; when it's still the best deal, we tell you.

    BOP-to-CPP transition — when your business outgrows the framework, we restructure without coverage gaps.

    One-stop placement — BOP plus workers' comp, commercial auto, umbrella, cyber, and any specialty lines you need, all from one point of contact.

    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions

    Carriers offer pre-packaged BOPs at a discount because the eligible businesses are well-understood, lower-touch underwriting risks. Bundling reduces administrative cost and the carrier passes some savings through.

    Eligibility varies by carrier, but BOPs generally fit businesses under certain revenue and square-footage thresholds, in lower-hazard classifications, and without unusual exposures. We check eligibility across multiple carriers.

    A BOP is pre-packaged and rated, with limited customization. A CPP is built coverage by coverage, allowing more flexibility for larger or more complex businesses. We move clients from BOP to CPP when their growth or risk profile demands it.

    No. Workers' comp is always a separate policy due to state regulation. We typically write WC alongside the BOP for a complete program.

    Hired and non-owned auto is often available by endorsement, but vehicles you own require a separate commercial auto policy.

    Property values have risen, claim frequency has increased, and carriers have re-rated heavily over the past several years. We shop BOPs at every renewal and frequently find better placement when the incumbent gets uncompetitive.
