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. ^5,6Not 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.

The commercial property page says policy obligations are the sole responsibility of the issuing insurance company, but it does not name that company on this product page. ¹¹Company-reported. Product page legal footer; the specific carrier for a policy is shown on the quote and declarations.

CFC says it favors manufacturers and distributors, non-manual professional services, e-commerce sellers, retail stores, office premises and annual events policies for this product, and ordinarily declines amusement arcades, nightclubs and bars, manual contractors, aviation and aerospace risks, tour operators, and tire re-moulders or re-treaders. ⁶Company-reported. Brochure's "What we love" and "What we ordinarily decline" lists, published for the combined property & casualty product; actual acceptance depends on individual underwriting.

ERGO NEXT says commercial property coverage is not usually required by federal or state law, but is commonly required to lease commercial space, obtain financing, own a franchise, or fulfill some government contracts. ¹¹Company-reported. Product page legal-requirement note; does not establish underwriting eligibility by industry or property type.

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. ⁶Company-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. ⁶Company-reported. Brochure's "Coverage enhancements" list; availability depends on underwriting.

ERGO NEXT describes three main components: business personal property (equipment, inventory and fixtures), building coverage (structure, HVAC, sprinklers and similar systems), and business income insurance for lost income after a covered event such as fire, burglary or storm damage. ¹¹Company-reported. Product page coverage breakdown; actual inclusions and exclusions are set by the issued policy.

ERGO NEXT lists the policy as excluding damage the business causes to other people's property, injury costs, professional mistakes, vehicle accidents, cyber attacks and intentional wrongdoing; equipment breakdown is offered only as an optional add-on. ¹¹Company-reported.
