What Are the Key Differences Between Insureon and Simply Business Business Owner’s Policy?

Default lines outside the BOP

Simply Business says a standard BOP does not include workers' compensation or professional liability by default, though professional liability may be added in some cases. Insureon's overview identifies general liability and property, and says optional coverages depend on the quoted policy without listing those exclusions. An employer or professional-services firm should budget and compare those lines separately unless its quote explicitly adds them; the issued form controls whether any add-on applies. [4] [1]

Quote comparison and state variation

Simply Business describes entering business details and reviewing quotes through its marketplace, with availability and binding subject to state, insurer, and business approval. Insureon also provides an online BOP request, but its overview does not describe comparable marketplace steps or state qualifications. A buyer can compare the displayed proposals, then confirm binding approval and whether professional liability is attachable in the relevant state. [5] [1]

What Should You Confirm in Insureon and Simply Business Business Owner’s Policy Quotes?

  • Ask Simply Business whether professional liability can be added, and how its insurer's approval affects binding in your state. [4]
  • Ask Insureon to identify separate workers' compensation and professional-liability policies and their insurers. [1]

Simply Business says BOPs typically combine property and general liability, with workers' compensation and professional liability excluded by default. Insureon describes the core package but leaves optional coverages to the policy.
