Overview
A Commercial Package Policy (CPP) is customarily suited for businesses seeking a broad spectrum of coverages. This multifaceted policy offers to combine various coverages usually including both property and liability insurances, unlike the more tailored Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) suitable for small to mid-sized businesses meeting specific criteria.
Coverage Inclusions
A CPP generally encapsulates coverage for the following, with flexibility to tailor specifics according to business needs:
Property Insurance: Protects business premises, contents, and other property against loss or damage. Events commonly covered include fire, storm damage, and theft.
Liability Coverage: Shields the business from financial loss associated with accounting for bodily injury, property damage, or personal and advertising injuries caused by the services or operations of the business.
Benefits
The key benefits of a CPP are its comprehensive nature and the customizable policy structures that allow businesses to specifically address their exposure to risks:
Customizability and Flexibility: Allows adding or modifying coverages depending on evolving business requirements.
Broader Protection: Typically provides wider protection than the coverages obtainable in a standard Business Owner’s Policy (BOP).
Cost-Effectiveness: Often more cost-effective compared to purchasing separate policies for each coverage.
