Alliance Risk distinguishes umbrella coverage, which it says can broaden protection to some claims not in the underlying policy, from excess coverage, which strictly follows the underlying policy's terms and only extends its limits; both exclude claims already excluded by the underlying policy, first-party property damage, workers' compensation claims and intentional or criminal acts. ³Company-reported. Umbrella & Excess Liability Insurance page, "What Is" and "What Does/Doesn't Cover" sections; the issued policy and declarations control actual terms.

Mylo describes commercial umbrella as extra liability protection that takes over once a business exhausts the limits of its general liability, commercial auto or workers' compensation policies, and says it cannot be purchased or used on its own without an underlying policy in place. ⁶Company-reported. Commercial umbrella product page; the issued policy and its exclusions control.

Alliance Risk describes umbrella/excess limits typically starting at $1M and extending to $25M or more, with indicative annual costs of $500–$1,500 for a $1M policy at a small business up to $10,000+ for large or high-risk operations. ³Company-reported.

Mylo says most commercial umbrella policies pay out between $1 million and $15 million in additional coverage above the underlying policy's limits. ⁶Company-reported. Commercial umbrella product page FAQ; a general market range, not a quoted limit for any specific business.
