Executive Protection Firm Business Interruption Insurance Cost

The Business Interruption premium range for Executive Protection Firms — what to expect

Most Executive Protection Firms fall into the $540–$3,840/year range for Business Interruption, with monthly premiums most commonly landing between $45 and $320. The median executive protection firm pays approximately $115/month or $1,380/year.

The spread inside that range is wide because WC-and-EPLI-driven pricing is driven by exposure variables that move materially from one operator to the next.

Larger operations with crew, vehicles, or commercial-grade exposure routinely sit above the median.

Low-end vs high-end profile: what does each look like?

The $540–$3,840/year spread on Business Interruption for Executive Protection Firms is not arbitrary. The low-end profile is structurally different from the high-end:

Low end — typically a executive protection firm with stable ownership, clean 3-year claims, fewer than 5 employees, conservative territory, and documentation that anticipates underwriter questions. Standard-market pricing.

High end — material claim history, larger operation, broader scope, or unusual exposures that push the carrier to either debit-price or move the account to surplus. Premium load of 1.5-3x the low-end norm is common.

Which class codes drive Business Interruption pricing for Executive Protection Firms?

The first thing an underwriter does on a Executive Protection Firms Business Interruption submission is assign a ISO class. That single decision sets the base rate per $1,000 of insured income and determines which carriers can quote. The wrong class is the most common cause of overpayment on Business Interruption accounts.

If you have moved between insurers, request the class code on each prior binder and compare. Inconsistencies between carriers often point to a mis-classification you can correct at next renewal.

Trading deductible for premium on Business Interruption

Deductible elections move Business Interruption premium predictably for Executive Protection Firms. The standard tradeoff: each step up in deductible removes a layer of small-claim handling cost from the carrier, who returns roughly 6-12% of that savings to you as premium credit.

For most Executive Protection Firms, moving from a $1,000 to a $5,000 deductible saves 8-15% on premium. Moving to $10,000+ can save 20-25%, but requires demonstrated financial reserves the carrier can verify at binding.

What changes year over year on Business Interruption for Executive Protection Firms?

State-by-state factors that change Executive Protection Firms Business Interruption pricing

Pricing impact: paid claims on Executive Protection Firms Business Interruption

A single paid claim within the prior three years typically lifts Executive Protection Firms Business Interruption renewal premiums 25-60% depending on claim severity, frequency context, and the carrier's tolerance for the workforce provider segment.
