Harper vs THREE by Berkshire Hathaway: How Do They Compare for Commercial Property Insurance?

For commercial property, Harper describes calling the insurance companies that write the coverage and presenting the customer with the resulting options to choose from, rather than issuing a commercial property policy itself. ³Company-reported. Homepage 'What we cover' introduction and coverage list, where commercial property is one of the enumerated lines.

THREE presents Property as a component of its combined Business Owners Policy rather than identifying it as a separate standalone policy on the reviewed product page. ⁷Company-reported. Company-described U.S. package structure. The page does not establish underwriting terms or that every listed category will be included for every applicant.

Harper's public pages do not name the insurer or insurers that would underwrite a commercial property policy; the homepage shows an unlabeled panel of insurer logos it says it works with, describing the rest as 'specialists who cover the work the big names turn down.' ³Not publicly disclosed. Checked the homepage insurer-logo panel on 2026-09-23; no carrier names accompany the logos in the page text.

The linked sample policy's declarations identify Berkshire Hathaway Direct Insurance Company as issuer. ⁶Company-reported. This is the issuer named on the public sample only; the sample does not establish the issuing entity for every state-specific quote or buyer's issued policy.

Harper's quote-intake form lists all 50 states and Washington, D.C. as selectable, indicating it takes commercial property quote requests nationwide, though eligibility for a specific building or business depends on underwriting review not described on the page. ³Company-reported. Homepage quote-intake state selector.

The reviewed product page does not state separate eligibility rules for Property; the general quote and advisor route is not proof that a particular business qualifies for it. ^7,5Not publicly disclosed. Eligibility and state availability remain unestablished for an individual risk until THREE returns its quote and applicable forms.

Harper's homepage summarizes commercial property insurance as covering a business's buildings, equipment and inventory at what it costs to replace them. ³Company-reported. Homepage 'What we cover' blurb; the issued policy and declarations would control actual valuation method and terms.

On its manufacturing industry page, Harper bundles property coverage with equipment breakdown, describing it as covering the building, the production line and machinery that cannot be down for a week. ⁴Company-reported. Manufacturing industry page; this is a manufacturer-specific bundle of property and equipment breakdown, not necessarily how Harper packages commercial property for other industries.

THREE's Business Owners Policy page lists Property among its marketed coverage categories in the combined policy. This describes the product page, not whether the category appears in a particular quote or responds to a loss. ^7,6Company-reported. Official THREE package marketing for Property. The sample policy is state-selectable and does not establish that this item is included in every quote or issued policy.

The reviewed pages do not publish commercial property limits, deductibles or valuation methods such as replacement cost versus actual cash value; those terms are not shown until a specific quote is issued. ^3,4Not publicly disclosed. Checked the homepage and manufacturing industry page on 2026-09-23.

The reviewed public product page does not state a separate limit or deductible for Property; THREE says the quote-specific insurance summary lists limits and deductibles. ^7,6Not publicly disclosed. No number is inferred from the sample policy. The quote and issued declarations control the buyer-specific limit and deductible.

You can start a commercial property quote through Harper's online intake by selecting the 'My building, equipment, and inventory (property)' checkbox alongside the business's state, estimated annual revenue and a description of what it does. ³Company-reported. Homepage quote-intake form.

THREE directs small-business prospects to an online quote and says licensed Small Business Advisors can help with the process. ⁵Company-reported. This is the route for the overall THREE product. It does not show whether Property will be offered for a particular business or whether a customer can bind that line without an issued policy.
