📦 '''Package policy''' is a single [[Definition:Insurance policy | insurance policy]] that bundles two or more distinct [[Definition:Coverage | coverages]] — typically [[Definition:Property insurance | property]], [[Definition:General liability insurance | general liability]], and often [[Definition:Business interruption insurance | business interruption]] or [[Definition:Crime insurance | crime]] coverage — into one contract issued to a commercial [[Definition:Insured | insured]]. The [[Definition:Businessowners policy (BOP) | businessowners policy]] is one of the most recognizable examples, designed for small and mid-size enterprises, but larger commercial accounts also use package structures tailored to their operations. By consolidating coverages that would otherwise require separate policies from potentially different [[Definition:Insurance carrier | carriers]], a package policy simplifies administration for both the insured and the issuing company.

🔧 Structurally, each coverage section within the package maintains its own [[Definition:Insuring agreement | insuring agreement]], [[Definition:Exclusion | exclusions]], [[Definition:Condition | conditions]], and [[Definition:Limit | limits]], but the sections share common policy-level provisions such as the [[Definition:Declaration page | declarations]], general conditions, and [[Definition:Cancellation | cancellation]] terms. [[Definition:Underwriter | Underwriters]] often price package policies with a bundling discount that reflects reduced acquisition costs and the cross-selling efficiency of writing multiple lines on a single account. The [[Definition:Insurance Services Office (ISO) | ISO]] provides standardized forms that carriers can adopt or modify, and many insurers develop proprietary package products for niche segments — restaurants, contractors, technology firms — where the risk profile is well understood. Endorsements can be added to customize coverage, such as attaching [[Definition:Inland marine insurance | inland marine]], [[Definition:Cyber insurance | cyber liability]], or [[Definition:Employment practices liability insurance (EPLI) | employment practices liability]] modules.

✅ From the [[Definition:Policyholder | policyholder's]] perspective, the chief advantage is simplicity: one [[Definition:Premium | premium]], one renewal date, one point of contact for [[Definition:Claim | claims]], and fewer gaps between coverages because a single carrier coordinates all sections. For insurers and [[Definition:Managing general agent (MGA) | MGAs]], package policies improve [[Definition:Retention rate | retention]] — policyholders who bundle multiple coverages are statistically less likely to shop the account at renewal. The format also reduces the risk of [[Definition:Other insurance clause | other insurance clause]] conflicts that can arise when different carriers insure related exposures on the same account. As competition intensifies in small-commercial markets, the ability to offer a well-designed, competitively priced package has become a key differentiator for carriers and the [[Definition:Insurtech | insurtechs]] building platforms to distribute them.
