Business Owners Policy

About BankersBOP™

BankersBOP™ is designed for small to medium-sized businesses like yours, and focuses on the needs of retail, mercantile, office and habitational occupancies, including business owners who lease out their premises to similar businesses. The BankersBOP™ policy combines property coverage, liability and additional coverages that most businesses require into one policy with the exception of workers compensation, auto and flood. Optional coverages also can be added to meet specific needs of your business. BankersBOP™ is a simplified way of providing you with the basic coverage at a lower cost than with buying separate policies.
