Businessowners policy (BOP)

A packaged property-and-liability policy commonly issued to smaller commercial accounts.

What it means

BP 00 03 is the ISO BOP form. You still need to read additional-insured, hired-auto, and professional-services endorsements. Some contracts still ask for a standalone CG 00 01 even when you have a BOP.

Why it shows up

Card shops, studios, and many home-service firms are on BOPs. Form numbers start with BP rather than CG or CP.

What to look for

  • BP 00 03
  • BP 04 additional-insureds
  • Whether auto is on the BOP or a separate CA policy

Coverbird reads the declarations and form schedule on the PDF you already have. It does not sell insurance or say whether a limit is enough.
