What is Commercial Package Policy (CPP)

A commercial package policy is an insurance policy that combines coverage for multiple perils, such as Liability and property risk. A commercial package policy, or CPP, allows a business to take a flexible approach to obtaining insurance coverage and may allow the business to pay out a lower amount of premiums than if it purchased a separate policy for each risk.

BREAKING DOWN Commercial Package Policy (CPP)

Insurance companies typically write commercial package policies for small or mid-sized businesses. These types of businesses may have smaller liability needs because they do not operate large facilities, or because they only require additional insurance protection for small risks. For example, a light manufacturing company or car wash facility is less likely to require the same amount of coverage that a real estate developer requires.

Commercial package policies allow for a high degree of customization and may combine two or more coverages into a single policy. While each plan is specific, the average CPP will cover different property and liability exposures. Coverage options include general liability and property coverage. Business auto policies are commonly added to the bundle, along with crime protection. Crime protection policies are insurance against more than just vandalism and include coverage for embezzlement, forgery, check or money tampering and credit card fraud. Inland marine coverage is also common under a commercial package policy, which provides on-the-ground coverage for items in transit. Additional policies can be added at an additional expense, allowing each business to cover precisely cover its unique set of risks.

Commercial package policies can't include certain items like workers compensation of directors and officers insurance. Workers compensation insurance is required by law and must be purchased as a separate policy. Directors and officers policies are necessary for non-profit organizations. Group life and disability policies are also separate items with different policy choices and decisions.

Commercial Package Policies vs. Business Owner Policies

A commercial package policy differs from a business owner policy or BOP. While a business owner policy. also combines multiple coverages, it often includes a variety of standard coverages that may not be of interest to the policyholder. For example, the policy may include business income coverage regardless of whether the policyholder wants this. Commercial package policies only include coverages that are selected specifically by the policyholder.
