A package that bundles typical coverages into one policy.

  1. A required state license for owners
  2. An insurance bundle of typical small business coverages ✔
  3. A federal loan guarantee from the SBA

Why: The SBA says a business owner's policy combines the typical coverage options into one bundle, which can simplify buying and save money. It is popular with small and home-based businesses. It is not a license or a loan.

Huh, didn't know that: A BOP typically does not include commercial auto, workers' compensation or professional liability, so those are bought separately.

The dad joke
Why did the insurance policy go to the party? It heard there would be a bundle of fun.
