What Are the Key Differences Between Simply Business and TechInsurance General Liability Insurance?

Coverage examples and product risks

TechInsurance says general liability covers third-party bodily injury, property damage, copyright infringement and defamation, with product liability often included or available by endorsement. Simply Business describes potential bodily injury, property damage and legal-defense costs but does not specify product liability in its reviewed record. A business that sells products should ask the quoted insurer whether products-completed operations is included or endorsed. [6] [4]

Published customer figures versus approved quote

TechInsurance reports that nearly 90% of its customers choose $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate, and reports a $45 monthly median premium. Those are customer figures, not a promise for your business. Simply Business does not publish comparable figures in this offering record and says panel approval is needed to bind. Compare actual limits, premium and deductible on approved quotes. [6] [5]

What Should You Confirm in Simply Business and TechInsurance General Liability Insurance Quotes?

  • Ask TechInsurance whether the quoted product liability is included or endorsed, and confirm the actual premium and limits rather than customer averages. [6]
  • Ask Simply Business for approved limits, product liability wording and the remaining panel review steps. [5]
