What Are the Key Differences Between THREE by Berkshire Hathaway and Travelers Business Owner’s Policy?

Technology-specific bundle

Travelers describes a Technology Services BOP for small technology-service businesses, including IT consultants, software and web developers, repair firms, data processors, and web hosts. It says the bundle combines property, general liability, business income and extra expense, cyber liability, and errors-and-omissions coverage. THREE also markets a combined BOP, but its reviewed product page does not name a technology segment or these specific protections. A technology buyer should compare Travelers’ named bundle with the precise lines included in THREE’s quote. [6] [1]

Endorsements and purchase channel

Travelers offers the Xtend endorsement with 15 liability enhancements, Employment Practices Liability+, and World Business Essentials for some overseas travel; buyers work through an independent agent rather than a self-service quote. THREE offers an online quote and licensed advisor help, with a sample policy naming Berkshire Hathaway Direct Insurance Company as issuer. The purchase paths give different starting points, while both require checking the actual forms. [6] [2] [3]

What Should You Confirm in THREE by Berkshire Hathaway and Travelers Business Owner’s Policy Quotes?

  • Ask Travelers whether your specific technology activity fits and which endorsements are included. [6]
  • Ask THREE whether its quote includes cyber and errors-and-omissions coverage or requires separate policies. [1]
  • Compare agent support, limits, and policy forms for both proposals. [6] [3]

Travelers’ Technology Services BOP lists eligible technology businesses and includes property, liability, business income, cyber, and errors-and-omissions coverage. THREE markets a combined BOP but does not enumerate these protections in its reviewed page.
