Chubb vs The Hartford Business Owner’s Policy

Two carrier BOPs: Chubb cites 500-plus classes and $30 million in revenue; The Hartford publishes a $1,687 average premium.

What Is Chubb?

Chubb is the marketing name for a global insurance group whose U.S. companies underwrite commercial property, casualty, cyber and financial-lines coverage, including technology-focused DigiTech ERM and small-business packages. Founders and finance teams typically work through an appointed agent, then receive a policy issued by a named Chubb-group insurer rather than by the Swiss holding company. ^1,^2,³

Key Differences in Business Owner’s Policy

Two Packages, Different Public Price Signals

Chubb and The Hartford both sell a carrier BOP. The Hartford reports customers paid an average of $1,687 a year (about $141 a month). Chubb’s reviewed BOP page does not publish an average premium, and neither page publishes standard limits. ¹⁰ ⁴

What Sits Outside the Base Form

The Hartford says a BOP does not itself include workers’ compensation, professional liability, commercial auto or data breach coverage, though those can be added, along with off-premises utility business-income coverage. Chubb lists optional BOP enhancements including privacy and data breach, EPL, foreign liability with kidnap and ransom, equipment breakdown, water backup and crime, and a Total Account Solution for umbrella, workers’ compensation, commercial auto, ForeFront and cyber. ¹⁰ ⁴

Eligibility Language and Issuing Entity

Chubb cites up to $30 million in revenue and more than 500 classes. The Hartford says a BOP fits a business that has a physical location, faces a possibility of being sued, or has assets that could be stolen or damaged. The Hartford’s BOP page does not name which subsidiary issues a given policy; Chubb’s page also does not publish a subsidiary NAIC number. ⁴ ¹⁰ ⁷
