Big “I” Personal Umbrella

RLI’s PUP stands atop the existing homeowner and auto insurance to
provide an extra layer of personal liability protection for the insured
and their family. With RLI’s PUP program, the insured can maintain
their auto or home coverage with any company they choose, provided
they agree to maintain the mandatory minimum underlying coverage
limits. Limits up to $5 million ($1M in NM) and UM/UIM coverage
available.
Big “I” Home Business
www.independentagent.com/HomeBusiness
RLI’s Home Business Policy provides affordable coverage for those
people who operate small home-based businesses. Insureds often
believe their existing homeowners or apartment-dwellers policy will
cover any loss or damage to their business equipment, furniture and
supplies in the event of fire, theft or other catastrophe, when in fact,
those policies usually explicitly exclude coverage for any business
exposures on their premises. Partner with us to offer this important
coverage to your clients.
