What Are the Key Differences Between Alliance Risk and Chubb Business Owner’s Policy?

Who Stands Behind Your Policy

With Chubb, the company quoting you is the company that pays your claims, and its BOP is the base of a wider small-business portfolio. Alliance Risk arranges the package as a brokerage, so the insurer depends on where your placement lands and you learn it only at quote time. Choose Chubb if you want a known insurer and plan to add other lines later; choose Alliance Risk if you want a broker to shop your shop, office or restaurant. ¹ ² ³

Storefronts Versus a $30 Million Revenue Cap

Alliance Risk targets businesses with a physical location and foot traffic: retail, offices, restaurants, artisan contractors, and healthcare and wellness. Chubb takes small businesses with up to $30 million in revenue in more than 500 classes, including technology, manufacturing and financial services. A tech firm or manufacturer without a storefront fits Chubb's published appetite more clearly. ¹ ³

Add-Ons You Can Bolt On

Both let you add equipment breakdown and employment practices liability. Alliance Risk also lists cyber and hired and non-owned auto, which matters if staff drive their own cars for work. Chubb goes further, with data-breach cover, crime such as employee dishonesty, water backup and foreign liability with kidnap and ransom. ¹ ³

What Should You Confirm in Alliance Risk and Chubb Business Owner’s Policy Quotes?

Ask Alliance Risk which insurer issues the policy before you compare it with Chubb's. ¹ ³
Check that your revenue is under $30 million and your class is on Chubb's list. ³
Ask Alliance Risk to price cyber and hired auto, and Chubb to price crime and water backup, so the quotes line up. ¹ ³
Pick your route: Alliance Risk uses a quote form or advisor; Chubb takes an online request or an appointed agent. ¹ ³
If you also need umbrella, workers’ compensation, auto, ForeFront or Cyber ERM, ask Chubb to quote its Total Account Solution; Alliance Risk's BOP pages describe no single-insurer package. ³ ¹
