Key Differences in Business Owner’s Policy

Online Start Versus Broker-Only Intake

Alliance Risk lets you request a BOP quote through an online form or by scheduling a risk advisor. HUB directs prospects to contact a HUB broker and does not describe an online quote or self-serve bind on the BOP page. 3 8

How Property and Liability Are Named

Alliance Risk bundles general liability, commercial property and business interruption. HUB describes building and business-property insurance that repairs or replaces damaged buildings, equipment, stock, furniture or fixtures, plus business liability for injury or property-damage claims caused by the business or employees, and positions the package as a way to close gaps between separate property and liability policies. 3 8

Optional Endorsements Versus Advisor Tuning

Alliance Risk lists cyber, equipment breakdown, hired and non-owned auto and EPLI as optional endorsements. HUB says an advisor works with the client to fine-tune BOP options that fit the line of business, without listing those same endorsement names on the reviewed page. 3 8

What to Confirm in Business Owner’s Policy Quotes

  • Ask HUB whether business interruption is included; Alliance Risk names it and HUB’s page focuses on building, contents and liability. 3 8
  • Confirm you can start online with Alliance Risk if you do not already have a HUB broker. 3 8
  • Get issuing insurers; HUB’s page does not name one. 8 3
  • Request limits and deductibles; HUB does not publish them. 8
