Compare who advises on your placement, approaches insurers, and issues each policy.

Carrier & MGA Spot Score: **No Spot Score**. Assessed 2026-09-29; review due 2026-10-29. Excluded factors: Financial Resilience (The supplied evidence did not support a score for Financial Resilience; this factor is excluded, not scored as zero. Canonical evidence gaps: AM Best's own page for Continental Casualty could not be opened (blocked to automated access). The A+ rating is taken from CNA's annual report.; Licenses were checked in California only, for two companies. The other named CNA companies and other states were not checked.; No company-by-company statutory surplus and no policy-to-issuer mapping were reviewed.; Regulator searches covered New York and Texas actions found by web search, not every state. A separate 2024 New York filing-timeliness fine surfaced in a search summary but was not opened, so it is not counted.; CNA publishes no claims response-time commitments or staffing counts on the claims page.); 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: AM Best's own page for Continental Casualty could not be opened (blocked to automated access). The A+ rating is taken from CNA's annual report.; Licenses were checked in California only, for two companies.

Broker Spot Score: **7.0/10** (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 Willis Limited's FCA number and permissions are company-reported.; No NAIC or NIPR search was completed for WTW's U.S. entities beyond the Texas order; that license's current status was not re-checked.; The FSMA entry says "Willis Towers Watson" without SA/NV, so the link to the UK-branch parent is inferred from WTW's 10-K.; WTW publishes no named insurer roster, so network evidence is limited to scale and disclosures.; Third-party trackers list further U.S. state penalties, but no regulator source for them was opened, so they are not relied on.).

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. ## How CNA and WTW Differ CNA is documented as a commercial insurance placement route, while WTW's North American Corporate Risk & Broking terms describe a broker or intermediary relationship. This pair is useful for comparing who will advise on your placement, who will approach insurers, and which legal company will issue each policy. ### Business Roles and Access CNA's published description: Loews Corporation owned approximately 92% of CNA Financial Corporation’s outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2025. [1](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/21175/000002117526000011/cna-20251231.htm "CNA Financial Corporation 2025 Form 10-K") WTW's published description: For Corporate Risk & Broking engagements governed by its North American terms, WTW says it normally acts as the client’s insurance intermediary. [36](https://www.wtwco.com/-/media/WTW/notices/BTCD-CRB-NA-June-2025.pdf "Corporate Risk & Broking Brokerage Terms, Conditions & Disclosures (Canada & US)") Use each proposal to identify the licensed producer, any program intermediary, and the legal insurer for each policy. Brand names and group disclosures do not identify those roles for a specific placement. ### Customer and Industry Fit CNA directs small-business buyers to work with an agent. [3](https://www.cna.com/solutions/small-business "Insurance for Small Businesses") WTW's published description: At WTW’s December 2024 Investor Day, management described Risk & Broking as roughly half large business and half middle market and below; the answer did not give a US-specific share. [40](https://investors.wtwco.com/static-files/ea54f7ae-6b23-4006-98e1-5b2cd32b3f37 "WTW Investor Day transcript, December 3, 2024") The companies describe different customer or industry scopes. Treat those descriptions as starting points for a conversation, then ask each to confirm appetite for your actual operations, revenue, locations, and contracts. ### Application and Binding CNA's published description: CNA directs small-business buyers to work with an agent. [3](https://www.cna.com/solutions/small-business "Insurance for Small Businesses") WTW's published description: Under WTW’s North American Corporate Risk & Broking terms, an insurer quote is an offer, not confirmation of coverage, and may change or be withdrawn before the client orders binding. [36](https://www.wtwco.com/-/media/WTW/notices/BTCD-CRB-NA-June-2025.pdf "Corporate Risk & Broking Brokerage Terms, Conditions & Disclosures (Canada & US)") The documented entry route affects what you prepare and when you receive a usable proposal. An application, online indication, or insurer quote is not itself confirmation that coverage is bound. ### Service and Renewals CNA's published description: CNA says CNA Central gives small-business agents access to policy documents, loss runs, and claims information. [3](https://www.cna.com/solutions/small-business "Insurance for Small Businesses") WTW's published description: WTW’s North American terms say it reviews binders, policies and endorsements against negotiated specifications and client instructions and advises on errors or recommended changes. [36](https://www.wtwco.com/-/media/WTW/notices/BTCD-CRB-NA-June-2025.pdf "Corporate Risk & Broking Brokerage Terms, Conditions & Disclosures (Canada & US)") Service descriptions identify possible support routes, not a guaranteed response time or claims result. Ask who will handle certificates, endorsements, renewals, and claim communications for the policy you are considering. ## Questions to Resolve Before Comparing Quotes Ask each provider to identify the producer of record, the legal insurer for every proposed policy, and the state-specific availability of each requested line. Request the insurer's forms and endorsements, then compare limits, retentions, exclusions, conditions, and any required companion policies. Ask what information remains outstanding before binding, who will confirm the effective date in writing, and which team handles changes, certificates, renewals, and claim communications. Request premium, taxes, fees, and producer compensation separately where applicable. Neither public product descriptions nor a quote alone establishes identical protection, final eligibility, or a bound policy. ## Compare Services What each provider documents about the services you may need. | Criteria | CNA | WTW | | --- | --- | --- | | Business role | Loews Corporation owned approximately 92% of CNA Financial Corporation’s outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2025.

The terms separately disclose that WTW or affiliates may provide insurer-side services, including in some MGA or program-manager arrangements. [36](https://www.wtwco.com/-/media/WTW/notices/BTCD-CRB-NA-June-2025.pdf "Corporate Risk & Broking Brokerage Terms, Conditions & Disclosures (Canada & US)") [37](https://www.wtwco.com/-/media/WTW/Notices/BTCD-CRB-NA-January-2024 "Corporate Risk & Broking Brokerage Terms, Conditions & Disclosures (Canada & US)") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Corporate Risk & Broking engagements governed by WTW’s North American terms. This describes the ordinary role under those terms and the disclosed possibility of separate insurer-side services; it does not establish an insurer-side role in a particular engagement or make every WTW business exclusively buyer-side.; verified: 2026-09-28.)

WTW’s US manufacturing practice says it combines manufacturing expertise and data analytics in insurance-program design, and that its broking specialists have access to the global insurance market to identify insurer partners suited to a client’s risk.

CNA also says its U.S. offices work with independent agents and brokers to provide policyholder service and insurance solutions.

These sources do not establish that every CNA product requires an agent or that buyers can complete a purchase directly online.; verified: 2026-09-28.) | Under WTW’s North American Corporate Risk & Broking terms, an insurer quote is an offer, not confirmation of coverage, and may change or be withdrawn before the client orders binding. If the client chooses to bind, WTW says it will secure a formal insurer commitment, typically a binder.

CNA’s 2022 agent guide says agents can access policy, billing, and claims information and download new-business, renewal, and endorsement documents.

A CNA Small Business Service Center handout copyrighted 2021 says the center handles participating agency customers’ inquiries about certificates, policy changes, coverage, billing, and additional coverage or endorsement quotes.
