New Chubb Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) Features Tailored Coverages, Higher Limits for Small Business Owners

BASKING RIDGE, N.J., Sept. 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Chubb has begun a nationwide rollout of its new business owner's policy, Chubb BOP. Crafted for small businesses, Chubb BOP incorporates broad protection for property and liability exposures, a supporting umbrella liability product, and the option to add workers' compensation, commercial auto, and management and professional liability insurance protection. Chubb BOP is supported by Fast Track^SM, Chubb's award-winning online small business underwriting platform that allows agents to quote and issue an insurance policy in just minutes.

The Chubb business owner's policy includes more than 80 tailored coverages and limits beyond industry standard policies, including a unique automatic blanket limit of insurance that ties together 12 essential property coverages and allows business owners to use their insurance dollars where they are most needed following a loss.

"Our agents have consistently expressed an interest for Chubb to offer a BOP, and Chubb Small Commercial Insurance is excited to expand our offerings to meet their needs. Chubb BOP combines outstanding coverage with cutting-edge technology to provide independent agents and brokers and small business clients with an exceptional insurance solution. This new product aligns with Chubb's focus on innovation and demonstrates our commitment to our agency partners and their small business clients," said Jim Williamson, Division President, Small Commercial Insurance, Chubb North America.
