Key Differences in Commercial Property Insurance

Commercial property market versus layered property programs

AIG describes property options for organizations including hospitals, universities, and manufacturers. Chubb lists business, financial, healthcare, life-sciences, manufacturing, real-estate, hospitality, retail, technology, and transportation sectors, and says smaller businesses may access property through a BOP up to $30 million in revenue. That disclosed small-business route sits alongside Chubb’s large-program offerings; ask which product tier fits your revenue and property values. 3 7

Policyholder engineering and claims support

AIG describes property engineering and a dedicated claims team. Chubb says property policyholders can access Risk Consulting and describes field adjusters, catastrophe management, and coordinated multinational claims. For businesses with multiple sites, that documented response structure is useful to ask about, but the quote and service arrangements determine whether it applies to the specific account. 3 7

What to Confirm in Commercial Property Insurance Quotes

  • Ask Chubb which property tier fits the account and whether its BOP revenue threshold or larger-program terms apply. 7
  • Ask AIG for the insurer entity, policy schedule, and risk-engineering access applicable to this account. 3
