What Are the Key Differences Between Founder Shield and Vouch Commercial Property Insurance?

Naming the Carrier

Founder Shield says it places policies only with carriers rated A- or better by AM Best, matched to the client's industry, without naming a specific insurer. Vouch's program partner Corix goes further for its own branded product: its disclosures say commercial property under its Commercial Package Policy is issued by State National Insurance Company or United Specialty Insurance Company.

Corix's disclosures say its proprietary products, including commercial property under its Commercial Package Policy, are issued by State National Insurance Company or United Specialty Insurance Company. That names an insurer for Corix-branded products specifically, not for every Vouch property placement. ⁶Company-reported. Corix disclosures page.

A Standalone Policy or a Bundled Package

Founder Shield says commercial property is often purchased standalone but is sometimes bundled with general liability as part of a Business Owner's Policy. Corix instead bundles commercial property with general liability, hired and non-owned auto, and employee-benefits liability into a single modular Commercial Package Policy. ¹ ⁵
