Let’s have a frank conversation.

At Frankenmuth Insurance, we work hard to protect growing businesses with comprehensive coverage. But you may be wondering: What type of business insurance do I need? That depends on a number of factors, like the size of your business, the number of employees, and the type of business you run.

Your agent will get to know your business and recommend a policy for you. But to help you understand the differences, we’re breaking down BOP vs. CPP. Discover them now.
