Risk snapshot

Owners in this class commonly deal with heavy-load injuries to visitors, forklift areas and yard trips. Buyers, drivers and visitors at your warehouse create premises exposure, and products you distribute can lead to claims.

How GL and a BOP work together

General liability covers third-party bodily injury, property damage and, for most classes, personal and advertising injury. Per-occurrence limits are $300K, $500K, $1M or $2M, with aggregates at twice that, and the policy includes medical payments and damage to rented premises. A BOP protects stock, racking and office property with business income included. Many owners pick the BOP because property and business income come bundled with the liability protection.

Appetite and eligibility

One location per policy; revenue and employee limits apply. Across all classes, Coterie generally accepts up to $10M in revenue and 50 employees, one location per policy, no more than two losses in five years (none over $15K) and no prior cancellations or non-renewals. Startups and home-based businesses can qualify too.
