Not every business qualifies for a BOP. We break down the real eligibility rules — revenue limits, employee counts, excluded operations, and the classes carriers actually want to write.

Quick Answer

Eligible classes include contractors (plumbers, electricians, HVAC, painters), restaurants (limited and full cooking), retail stores (salons, florists, dry cleaners), professional offices, and wholesale distributors.
