CBIC's BOP
Owning a small business can sometimes seem financially risky. CBIC's Businessowners Policy (BOP) is designed to minimize your risk. CBIC's BOP is a package policy specifically for small retailers, wholesalers, owners of small offices, and other small businesses whose operations are confined to an office setting. Some small service and processing businesses such as bakeries, shoe repair shops, and printing shops are also eligible.

Why do you need a BOP?
CBIC's BOP provides financial security to permit the small business owner to focus on running a profitable business. In our society, defending against even a minor legal complaint is costly.
