Commercial Package Policy (CPP) Structure
A Commercial Package Policy (CPP) allows businesses to combine multiple lines of commercial insurance into a single, integrated policy, offering efficiency and often cost savings.
- Combines two or more commercial coverage parts.
- Includes Common Policy Declarations and Common Policy Conditions.
- Each coverage part also has its own declarations and conditions, but they are specific to that part and supplement the common ones, not replace them entirely.
- Designed for businesses needing various types of commercial coverage.
Memory trick: A CPP is a package deal, not a bunch of separate boxes.
