# biBerk vs CFC

Compare biBerk’s direct small-business route with CFC’s broker-placed specialist technology, cyber and professional-liability programs.

## Before You Quote

Ask each provider about eligibility, the issuing insurer, policy wording, limits, retentions, exclusions and costs for your business.

## Highlights

biBerk describes direct online insurance for small businesses, while CFC lists specialist technology and cyber programs with a broker-submitted application; a technology buyer should compare the actual application route, policy form and named insurer before deciding which fits.

## Introduction

If you want to start with a direct small-business quote and common business coverage, biBerk describes an online path with expert assistance. If your main decision is specialist technology or cyber protection, CFC offers broker-placed programs and asks a senior staff member to complete a detailed technology application. Those routes change who prepares the submission and what you should have ready; neither description guarantees eligibility or binding.

## Optional Spot Service Handoff

Spot can help prepare applications, coordinate brokers, and compare proposals. If that work is needed, collect the company's task, known deadline, current broker, and open questions for a [free consultation](https://spot.insure/pricing.md). The company decides what to buy; Spot does not automatically bind coverage.

## Technology and Cyber Coverage

biBerk markets cyber as an add-on to General Liability, Professional Liability or a Business Owners Policy, rather than describing it as a stand-alone product. CFC lists distinct cyber choices and a technology package spanning E&O, cyber, media/IP and general liability; the selected quote and wording determine what is actually included. [5](https://www.biberk.com/small-business-insurance/cyber-insurance "Cyber Insurance & Data Breach Coverage for Business | biBerk") [16](https://webcdn.cfc.com/media/ywdbvkpy/technology_product-brochure_us_0525_v2.pdf "Technology — United States product brochure") [23](https://www.cfc.com/en-us/products/class/cyber-insurance/ "Cyber insurance — US")

For a technology company comparing these routes, ask whether the requested technology E&O is standalone or packaged, which cyber response services attach to the policy, and which exclusions or sublimits apply. biBerk’s cyber add-on and CFC’s specialist package are not equivalent just because both mention cyber. [5](https://www.biberk.com/small-business-insurance/cyber-insurance "Cyber Insurance & Data Breach Coverage for Business | biBerk") [16](https://webcdn.cfc.com/media/ywdbvkpy/technology_product-brochure_us_0525_v2.pdf "Technology — United States product brochure")

## Application and Policy Issuer

CFC’s technology application asks about revenue, funding, products, contracts, security, intellectual-property procedures and claims history, and it is submitted through a broker. biBerk describes answering questions, choosing coverage and paying online, but says availability depends on state and insurance type. Plan for a broker-led submission with CFC; check whether your particular biBerk quote can be completed online. [17](https://webcdn.cfc.com/media/4559/tech_application_us_v24.pdf "Technology companies — US application v2.4") [3](https://www.biberk.com/ "Small Business Insurance From biBerk | Get A Quote Online")

CFC’s U.S. technology materials do not identify the insurer for a particular quote. biBerk names four insurers collectively as issuing most policies sold through its site, without mapping one to a specific product or policy. Ask both providers to identify the issuing insurer on the proposed declarations before binding. [18](https://www.cfc.com/en-us/support/regulatory-information/ "Regulatory information") [2](https://www.biberk.com/disclosures "Small Business Insurance From biBerk | Read Disclosures")

## Questions for Your Quote

Ask CFC which technology form, insurer, limits and incident-response services apply to your risk. Ask biBerk whether the state and requested base policy support the cyber add-on, who will issue it, and whether the application can be completed online. The public materials do not establish a particular applicant’s acceptance or policy terms.

| Application process | biBerk describes an online path in which a business answers questions, chooses coverage, and pays online; it also says applicants can speak with an insurance expert. Its homepage says availability depends on the state and type of insurance; the description does not establish that every applicant can complete or bind online. [3](https://www.biberk.com/ "Small Business Insurance From biBerk | Get A Quote Online") [1](https://www.biberk.com/about-biberk "About biBerk | Making Small Business Insurance Simple") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Company-described online quote and purchase route and expert assistance for U.S. small-business applicants. The homepage states that availability depends on state and type of insurance; this is not a claim that every applicant can complete an online purchase or bind coverage.; verified: 2026-09-28.) | A senior staff member should expect to complete the technology application and send it to a broker; it asks for revenue, funding, subsidiaries, products, contracts, security, IP procedures and claims history. CFC Connect separately supports broker trading and appointments. [17](https://webcdn.cfc.com/media/4559/tech_application_us_v24.pdf "Technology companies — US application v2.4") [20](https://www.cfc.com/en-us/connect/ "Connect broker trading portal") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: CFC US-facing materials, accessed 16 September 2026; company descriptions, not an issued policy or independent service assessment.; verified: 2026-09-16.) |
| Access to insurers | biBerk says the four insurers it names—Wellfleet Insurance Company, Berkshire Hathaway Direct Insurance Company, National Liability & Fire Insurance Company, and Wellfleet New York Insurance Company—collectively issue most policies sold by biBerk. Its California/Massachusetts notice separately lists each insurer’s domicile and licensed jurisdictions, but does not identify which insurer issues a particular product or policy or guarantee that a particular product is available in any jurisdiction. Check the insurer named in the issued policy. [2](https://www.biberk.com/disclosures "Small Business Insurance From biBerk | Read Disclosures") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Company disclosure provided to California and Massachusetts applicants and insureds; it describes the four named insurers collectively as issuing most policies sold by biBerk and separately lists each insurer’s domicile and licensed jurisdictions. It does not identify which insurer issues a particular product or policy or guarantee that a particular product is available in any jurisdiction.; verified: 2026-09-28.) | Before binding a California technology policy, get the insurer and syndicate names in writing: CFC identifies Lloyd’s Syndicate 1988, managed by Asta, but its US technology materials do not identify the insurer for a buyer’s quote. [18](https://www.cfc.com/en-us/support/regulatory-information/ "Regulatory information") [16](https://webcdn.cfc.com/media/ywdbvkpy/technology_product-brochure_us_0525_v2.pdf "Technology — United States product brochure") [17](https://webcdn.cfc.com/media/4559/tech_application_us_v24.pdf "Technology companies — US application v2.4") (Evidence: Not publicly disclosed; scope: Technology coverage for a California applicant; Syndicate 1988 is not assigned to every CFC policy.; verified: 2026-09-16.) |
| Claims assistance | NerdWallet’s February 2026 biBerk review reports that, during 2022–2024, state regulators received far more complaints from biBerk commercial liability and commercial property policyholders than NerdWallet expected given biBerk’s market share; NerdWallet says biBerk received its lowest possible score for this complaint factor. This is NerdWallet’s report of company-level complaint data, not a raw count or evidence about every biBerk product, a particular policy, or the quality of claim decisions. [14](https://www.nerdwallet.com/business/insurance/learn/biberk-insurance "biBerk Insurance Review 2026: Berkshire Hathaway’s Basic Online Storefront") (Evidence: Verified; scope: NerdWallet U.S. small-business-insurance review, updated February 13, 2026 and accessed September 29, 2026. The review attributes the comparison to NAIC company-level data but does not identify the insurer mix for a specific biBerk policy. It reports commercial liability and commercial property complaint experience for 2022–2024 relative to market share; complaint contents and underlying counts are not stated in the reviewed passage.; verified: 2026-09-29.) | You can report a claim through CFC’s form, email or phone; cyber incidents also have a separate phone route and app. These are notification channels, not a promise about payment speed or outcome. [22](https://www.cfc.com/en-us/claims/ "Notify a claim or cyber incident") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: CFC US-facing materials, accessed 16 September 2026; company descriptions, not an issued policy or independent service assessment.; verified: 2026-09-16.) |
