About this provider
Coterie is an insurance agency (Coterie Insurance Agency) that offers small-business coverage including a business owners policy (BOP) and commercial general liability (GL); it is not itself a risk-bearing insurer. Check the issuing insurer and admitted or non-admitted status on your actual quote and policy — the Coterie brand alone does not establish which insurer or form applies. General liability generally addresses third-party bodily injury or property damage claims; a BOP commonly bundles property and liability for eligible small businesses. How each form treats your own building, contents, tenant improvements, stock, and business income is set by the actual policy and endorsements, not by the product name alone.

Questions to review before requesting a quote
These are practical questions to prepare — not legal requirements or a guarantee of coverage. The issuing insurer, form, and eligibility are confirmed on each quote.
- Which issuing insurer and form apply, and is the coverage admitted or non-admitted in California?
- Which part of the policy addresses third-party injury or property-damage allegations arising from your operations, and which part, if any, insures your own building, contents, or stock?
- What property values, locations, and covered causes does the BOP schedule, and how are your own building, contents, stock, and tenant improvements treated?
- What deductibles, limits, sublimits, and endorsements apply to business income, extra expense, or leased equipment?
- How do your actual operations and classifications map to the underwriting questions, and what eligibility applies?
- Where does an existing policy claim go — the claims center routes standard and surplus lines by policy — and what information does it require?
