Key Differences in Commercial Property Insurance

Standalone Placement or Combined Form

Aon describes brokers working with carriers to build a property program. CFC sells property coverage bundled with general liability in one Property & Casualty policy rather than as a standalone property product. If you need property separate from liability, ask Aon what monoline options it can place and ask CFC whether its combined form fits your structure. 3 8

Property Limit and Covered Loss

CFC’s brochure lists a property limit up to $10 million and describes rebuilding or repairing a building, contents, and resulting business interruption after covered loss. Aon describes property insurance for buildings, contents, and inventory and notes that interruption coverage may be available, but its record gives no limit. Compare proposed limits and interruption triggers, not just broad coverage descriptions. 9 3

Industries and Services

CFC favors manufacturers, distributors, non-manual professional services, e-commerce, and retail, while Aon describes property-risk services for organizations generally. Aon adds catastrophe modeling, claims advocacy, and risk control; CFC names a dedicated Property and Casualty claims team leader. Ask who would support valuation and claim preparation under each arrangement. 9 3

Issuing Insurer

Aon’s global product/capability page reviewed 2026-09-30; no buyer quote, binder or policy was reviewed. This does not establish that no insurer or producing entity is available.

The reviewed property & casualty page and brochure describe CFC as the policy designer and point of contact but do not name the insurer that carries the risk for this product. 8,9Not publicly disclosed. Property & casualty product page and brochure as read on 2026-09-23. CFC's own materials describe it as an underwriting manager rather than a risk-bearing insurer, so a specific carrier for this product would need to come from the quote or declarations.

Who It’s For

Aon describes property-risk services for organizations seeking to protect property, buildings, contents and inventory. Its page is a global capability description and does not define an applicant eligibility schedule. 3Company-reported. Audience stated by Aon on its global capability page; this does not establish a specific applicant’s eligibility or placement availability by U.S. state.

Brochure's "What we love" and "What we ordinarily decline" lists, published for the combined property & casualty product; actual acceptance depends on individual underwriting.

Coverage Features

Aon describes commercial property insurance as protection against loss of property, buildings and contents or inventory from perils such as fire, natural catastrophe, theft and vandalism; it says insurance can also provide business-interruption coverage after property damage. These are general descriptions, not terms of a buyer’s policy. 3Company-reported. Aon’s broker-authored explanation of the insurance line. It does not establish an individual insured’s policy entitlement; the insurer’s form, endorsements and declarations control.

CFC says the property side of the policy pays to rebuild or repair a building after a covered loss and includes cover for contents and the resulting business interruption if a loss makes premises unusable. 9Company-reported. Brochure's "Property, contents and business interruption cover" section; exact perils and exclusions are set by the policy as issued.

Optional add-ons to the property & casualty policy include legal expenses cover, a cyber and privacy extension, and a product recall extension. 9Company-reported. Brochure's "Coverage enhancements" list; availability depends on underwriting.

Risk Services

Aon describes property brokerage and consulting for business interruption, captive integration, claims advocacy, catastrophe modeling, risk control and terrorism/crisis management.
