Key Differences in Business Owner’s Policy

Broker Placement, Different Start Paths

Gallagher Small Business and HUB both place a BOP instead of writing it. Gallagher lets you start online, by phone with a small-business advisor, or by requesting a callback. HUB's reviewed page points you to a HUB broker and does not describe an online quote or self-serve bind. 6 11

How Each Describes the Package

Gallagher lists named general-liability parts and property for rented space and equipment, then lists items the BOP does not cover, including employee injuries and malpractice. HUB describes building and business-property insurance (buildings, equipment, stock, furniture, fixtures) plus liability for injury or property-damage claims, and says an advisor fine-tunes options so separate property and liability policies do not leave gaps. 6 11

Insurer and Limits on the Public Pages

Neither Gallagher's nor HUB's BOP page names the issuing insurer or publishes limits, deductibles or premiums. The carrier and numbers appear on the quote each broker obtains. 6 11

What to Confirm in Business Owner’s Policy Quotes

  • Ask both brokers which insurer would issue the BOP. 6 11
  • Ask HUB which line-of-business options the advisor would add. 11
  • Match Gallagher's exclusion list against the HUB-placed form. 6 11
  • Compare limits and deductibles; neither page discloses them. 6 11
