What is a Business Owners Policy (BOP)?

A business owners policy is made up of two coverage types: liability and property insurance. It can help protect small- and medium- sized businesses such as hair salons and contractors from unexpected risks.

At Main Street America Insurance, we understand that your success is our success. It's a shared ambition. That's why our business products and coverage options equip you with customizable solutions to meet your needs. Our business owners policy product is among the best coverage available in the market today, and with our new Main Line Business Owner's Policy (Main Line BOP), you get all the traditional coverage of a business owners policy product, but with extra coverages, more options and broader eligibility, offering a great value and protecting what's important to you: your livelihood.
