What's the difference between a BOP and standalone commercial property?

A business owners policy is a packaged product designed for small to mid-market businesses: it bundles commercial property, general liability, and business income/extra expense into a single policy with simplified underwriting. Most BOPs cap at around $1M to $5M in building value or revenue, depending on carrier appetite. Standalone commercial property is used for larger or more complex accounts that exceed BOP limits, have multiple locations, need specialty endorsements, or want general liability written separately. The split-policy approach gives more underwriting flexibility but takes more agent time to coordinate. For most Georgia small businesses under $1M revenue, a BOP is the right starting point. For mid-market and larger, standalone commercial property paired with separate general liability typically delivers more tailored coverage.
