Key Differences in Business Owner’s Policy

Foot Traffic Versus Landlord Requirements

Alliance Risk describes buyers that operate from a physical location with customer foot traffic. Kinro says the BOP commonly fits restaurants, retail stores, salons and offices, and typically comes up when a business leases a storefront, salon, office or restaurant and the landlord requires liability or property coverage. 3 8

Endorsement List Versus Carrier Matching

Alliance Risk lists optional cyber, equipment breakdown, hired and non-owned auto and EPLI on the package it places. Kinro is a broker that matches a business to carriers offering a BOP and says the same product can underwrite differently depending on the operation and carrier appetite. 3 8

What Each Broker Collects to Quote

Alliance Risk’s page does not describe specific underwriting information for a BOP submission. Kinro collects location address, square footage, construction and occupancy, property and inventory values, and revenue and activity, and often reviews the BOP with workers’ compensation, cyber and hired/non-owned auto. 3 8
