Insurance
companies, which offer business insurance, sell policies that
combine property and liability risk protection in one policy.
Separate coverage also is available if that better fits your needs.
A package developed for small and mid-sized businesses is the business
owner's policy (BOP), and they are usually created for
businesses that generally face the same kind and degree of risk.
Larger companies are likely to be better served with a commercial
package policy or by customizing their policies to meet the special
risks they face.
