What Are the Key Differences Between HUB International and Liberty Mutual Business Owner’s Policy?

Adviser Tailoring and Package Options

HUB says an adviser works with the client to fine-tune a BOP with options suited to the client's line of business, aiming to avoid gaps between separate property and liability policies. Liberty Mutual's public page describes its property-and-general-liability bundle and identifies cyber or professional liability as optional additions. If you need coverage shaped around a specialized operation, ask HUB what is tailored and ask the Liberty Mutual agent which options are available for your class. [1] [2]

Property Items and Claims Covered

HUB describes building and business-property protection for buildings, equipment, stock, furniture, and fixtures, plus liability for injury or property damage caused by the business or employees. Liberty Mutual also describes commercial property and general liability, but its summary does not enumerate those property categories or liability examples. For a location with high inventory or tenant improvements, compare the schedule and valuation details rather than relying on the broad BOP label. [1] [2]

  • Ask HUB which property and liability options it would tailor to your industry, and which insurer would issue the package. [1]
  • Ask Liberty Mutual's agent to enumerate covered property, optional lines, and any separate policies. [2]
  • Compare building, contents, stock, and tenant-improvement values with liability limits and deductibles. [1] [2]
