Before closing, our transactional risk products that facilitate M&A – such as representations, and warranty and tax indemnity coverage – allow parties to efficiently allocate the risk.
After closing the transaction, existing casualty liabilities can be managed through loss portfolio transfers and close-outs, and a variety of liability products and directors and officers insurance.
Chubb also offers a range of ongoing insurance products, detailed below.
In addition to coverage for large, multinational companies, Chubb insures small and midsize businesses with three package policy options — Business Owners Policy (BOP), Benchmarq, and Customarq. Each combines property, business income, and general liability insurance, and can be tailored for your specific exposures.
Insure your small business with this customizable insurance package policy. It offers a combination of property, business income, crime, employment practices liability, cyber, and general liability coverages, as well as the ability to add supporting insurance solutions specifically tailored to your small business needs.
Private equity presents a unique set of exposures that can result in third-party lawsuits. Guard against that risk with our specialized coverage, which can include management liability, D&O for PE, outside director liability, professional liability, and employment practices liability.
