# Aon vs Coalition

Compare Aon’s U.S. brokerage services with Coalition’s cyber producer, underwriting and appointed-broker route.

## Before You Quote

Ask each provider about eligibility, the issuing insurer, policy wording, limits, retentions, exclusions and costs for your business.

## Highlights

Aon describes brokerage for certain U.S. Commercial Risk programs; Coalition identifies a U.S. producer and surplus-lines broker, and requires an appointed broker for coverage.

Role: Broker.

Broker Spot Score: **6.7/10** (partial score; 70% of this role's weighting included). Assessed 2026-09-29; review due 2026-10-29. Excluded factors: Carrier-Network Strength (The supplied evidence did not support a score for Carrier-Network Strength; this factor is excluded, not scored as zero. Canonical evidence gaps: The FCA register could not be loaded, so Aon UK Limited's FCA number and permissions are company-reported.; No NAIC, NIPR or other state producer search was completed for Aon's U.S. entities beyond the two Texas orders; current status of those Texas licenses was not re-checked.; Aon does not publish a named list of insurers behind its placements, so the network view rests on its concentration statement.; The Central Bank of Ireland, Lloyd's and other state enforcement records were not searched exhaustively.; Placement-specific compensation is not published; only the general categories are.).

## Aon Reviews

Review Score: 6.1 / 10 from 3 rated sources, equally weighted.

Public ratings for Aon are low: Trustpilot shows 1.2 out of 5 from 782 reviews, and BBB shows 1.6 from five. Aon is a global firm, so those pages mostly reflect other parts of the business, not large U.S. commercial accounts.

- Trustpilot: TrustScore 1.2 (out of 5); 782 reviews. Global www.aon.com profile merged with other Aon profiles; mixed experiences include pensions, travel, professional indemnity and Australian business quotation service.

## Coalition Reviews

Review Score: 10.0 / 10 from 1 rated source, equally weighted.

Coalition has a BBB A+ grade. The reviewed independent sources did not establish a customer-star rating; the displayed RaveCapture collection is broker-focused. Its Trustpilot page has no reviews, and its best-looking rating comes from a review page the company arranges for brokers.

- BBB: BBB business grade A+. Coalition (BBB profile, San Francisco, CA); business grade, separate from customer-review stars. Checked 2026-09-29.

## Optional Spot Service Handoff

Spot can help prepare applications, coordinate brokers, and compare proposals. If that work is needed, collect the company's task, known deadline, current broker, and open questions for a [free consultation](https://spot.insure/pricing.md). The company decides what to buy; Spot does not automatically bind coverage.

## Key Differences Between Aon and Coalition

### Broker Role and Insurance Responsibility

Aon’s U.S. Commercial Risk terms describe a broker relationship for certain programs. Coalition says U.S. buyers get cyber insurance and risk-management services, identifies Coalition Insurance Solutions, Inc. as its producer and surplus-lines broker, and says the insurer remains responsible for policy obligations.

Aon’s U.S. Commercial Risk terms describe Commercial Risk Solutions U.S. as broker of record for certain insurance programs. Separate electronic-delivery terms name Aon Risk Services Companies, Inc. acting for itself and licensed brokerage subsidiaries to deliver arranged policies; the terms define an insurer as the policy issuer and risk bearer. These group-level descriptions do not identify the producer or authority for a particular placement. [1](https://www.aon.com/en/about/leadership-and-governance/brokerage-terms-of-service-for-commercial-risk-solutions-us "Commercial Risk Solutions U.S. Brokerage Terms of Service") [2](https://www.aon.com/en/about/leadership-and-governance/aon-commercial-risk-us-electronic-disclosure-and-consent-terms "Aon Commercial Risk U.S. Electronic Disclosure and Consent Terms") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Company-reported U.S. Commercial Risk brokerage and electronic-delivery terms; certain programs only. No specific insured, licensed producer, appointment, policy issuer, state authority or placement was matched.; verified: 2026-09-29.)

Coalition buyers get cyber insurance and risk-management services, with the insurer responsible for policy obligations. In the US, Coalition Insurance Solutions, Inc. is the disclosed producer and surplus-lines broker. [16](https://www.coalitioninc.com/legal/licenses "Licenses and Carriers") [21](https://www.coalitioninc.com/cyber-insurance "Active Cyber Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: United States; official company materials inspected on 2026-09-16. No independent insurance or regulatory verification.; verified: 2026-09-16.)

Those descriptions do not identify the producer or insurer for a particular Aon placement, or the specific insurer for a Coalition quote. Coalition’s security operator is also not an insurer. Ask for the exact producing entity, insurer, and party responsible for each service.

### Technology Customers and Application Route

Aon markets a Middle Market practice for mid-sized organizations across North America, with no numerical cutoff stated in the reviewed material. Coalition says technology businesses can ask about Tech E&O for exposures such as software downtime or failed delivery; this does not establish qualification for every startup or product.

Aon markets a dedicated Middle Market practice for mid-sized organizations and says it serves growing businesses across North America. The reviewed page gives no numerical size cutoff and does not establish U.S.-only eligibility; Aon’s broader global client statement describes the parent’s client base, not this practice’s eligibility rules.

Technology businesses can ask Coalition about Tech E&O for exposures such as software downtime or failed delivery. [15](https://www.coalitioninc.com/technology-errors-and-omissions-insurance "Tech E&O Insurance Coverage") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: United States; official company materials inspected on 2026-09-16. No independent insurance or regulatory verification.; verified: 2026-09-16.)

For certain Aon programs, Aon helps prepare underwriting information and gets the client’s instructions to bind a selected program. Coalition requires an appointed broker and says underwriting reviews industry, finances, operations and security. If a broker does not offer Coalition, it says it can help locate access; a Tech E&O application may need review before a price is released.

For certain U.S. Commercial Risk programs, Aon says it consults with the client about market conditions, insurers to approach and program strategy, helps prepare underwriting information and applications, and obtains the client’s instructions to bind specific programs based on Aon’s proposal. The client signs applications that require a signature.

You need an appointed broker to buy Coalition coverage; Coalition can help you find access if your broker does not offer it, and says underwriting reviews industry, finances, operations and security.

(Evidence: Company-reported; scope: United States; official company materials inspected on 2026-09-16. No independent insurance or regulatory verification.; verified: 2026-09-16.)

Ask Aon which markets it will approach and who must authorize binding. Ask Coalition whether your broker is appointed, which insurer would issue the quote, what security and operations details are required, and whether Tech E&O needs further underwriting. Compare actual limits, retentions and exclusions; equivalent terms or prices are not established.
