Corgi vs Embroker: How Do They Compare for Business Insurance?

Technology startups can compare Corgi packages for pre-seed/seed, Series A and growth stages, or ask about a custom option. ^2,3,6,15Company-reportedCompany website positioning and package names; named customer stories on the customers page are testimonials, not a verified book of business.

Small businesses in offices, retail, restaurants, personal services, self-storage, wholesale, community associations or rental properties may have a new Corgi option; its August 2026 filing announcement says state and product availability differ. ⁹Company-reportedCompany-announced admitted-carrier appetite. Filing a product is not the same as confirmed availability in a given state.

Funded startups, technology firms, law firms and other professional-services businesses can apply online or get broker help buying and managing coverage through Embroker. ^23,24,26Company-reportedCurrent public customer positioning and distribution channels the company describes; no claim that every applicant is eligible.

Startup packages can combine general liability, D&O, Tech E&O, cyber, media, employment practices, fiduciary and hired/non-owned auto; Corgi also offers a Tech & AI Liability module. ^2,8,10Company-reportedWebsite product labels and package descriptions. Labels are not equivalent coverage, and website summaries are not policy wording.

If you need D&O, Corgi’s example shows claims-made protection for directors, officers and the company under form CORG-DO-0100, issued by Technology Risk Retention Group. The example puts defense costs inside the limit and has a $25,000 per-claim retention; your policy controls. ⁵Company-reportedPublic product-page summary last reviewed 24 April 2026 on the page itself; illustrative limits and retentions may differ from a buyer’s policy.

A package that includes property needs another insurer if its liability policy uses a risk retention group, because such groups can write business liability but not property coverage. ^19,21VerifiedStatutory limit on what an RRG may write. It does not by itself prove which Corgi product sits on which paper.

Technology companies can include Tech E&O/Cyber with D&O, EPL and fiduciary coverages in Embroker’s August 2026 Management Insurance Suite, selecting individual lines or a bundle. ³¹Company-reported19 August 2026 launch, new-business product. Company report of structure, not policy wording or proof of same-session binding.

The broker Tech E&O/Cyber program targets private, for-profit technology companies below $300 million revenue, excludes crypto, blockchain and cannabis, and requires MFA above $5 million revenue. ³³Company-reportedCurrent Embroker Access primary program appetite. Not applied to all Embroker products or proof of eligibility for a particular account.

Ask for the exact Tech E&O form if IP coverage matters: Embroker’s retail page lists IP infringement exclusions while its broker program advertises software-code infringement coverage, and public pages do not reconcile the difference. ^34,33Conflicting sourcesRetail What’s not included and FAQ versus Access Additional features. Product version and exact covered IP rights are unresolved; no conclusion of blanket IP protection or exclusion.

Eligible technology buyers can request an AI endorsement for AI services, discrimination allegations and regulatory-defense costs, with up to $150,000 for algorithm-removal expenses; verify triggers, exclusions and the sublimit in the endorsement. ⁴⁰Company-reportedCompany product announcement, not a policy-form analysis. Article displays May 2026 publication but says effective August 2025 and references the Startup Program; applicability to a particular EMIS or legacy quote must be confirmed.

Technology firms with at least $1 million of underlying Tech E&O can ask Embroker Access about up to $5 million excess; cyber-only underlying policies do not qualify. ³⁵Company-reportedAccess excess program, private for-profit businesses below $300 million revenue; no claim that all carrier forms qualify.

If your primary Tech E&O is from Embroker, ask how to add higher limits because its retail FAQ says its excess product cannot sit above its own primary policy. ³⁴Company-reportedRetail FAQ restriction; do not interpret the broker page’s 50+ primary carriers as markets Embroker shops or automatically compatible forms.

Law firms with 1–25 attorneys may fit Embroker’s lawyers’ liability program if they meet its no-claims/discipline, physical-address and risk-control criteria; it lists pre-claim help and defense-cost options. ³⁶Company-reportedCurrent Access LPL appetite and features; not a finding that larger or claims-affected firms cannot obtain any insurance through Embroker brokerage.

Law firms should check how claim timing and defense spending affect limits: the public Everest sample is claims-made, tied to a retroactive date, and makes claim expenses erode the limit, while current marketing describes defense outside the limit. Confirm the endorsements. ^37,36Company-reportedSpecimen LPL-CWF100A-1 0319, PDF p. 5, and LPL-CWF001A-1 0319 declarations, PDF p. 2. A 2019 specimen is not evidence of every current policy version; options may explain different defense treatment.

Embroker’s main catalogue includes BOP, general liability, crime, cyber, D&O, EPL, fiduciary, professional liability, Tech E&O/Cyber and workers’ compensation. ³⁰Company-reportedDirect coverage cards and quote links; professional E&O consolidated separately from technology E&O and fiduciary liability. Website descriptions do not establish policy entitlements.

Businesses can also ask Embroker about commercial auto and property, product liability, surety bonds and key-person life; venture firms can consider VCAP. ^{43,44,46,45,42,47}Company-reportedAccessible dedicated offering pages beyond the main coverage grid. No separate medical malpractice, fidelity bond, builders risk or employee benefits offering inferred from educational text or redirected URLs.

Technology companies can bundle Tech E&O/Cyber with a BOP, while law firms can combine lawyers’ liability, cyber, BOP and workers’ compensation; package names do not guarantee identical policy terms. ^39,38Company-reportedCurrent direct industry tabs. Optional hired/non-owned auto is not counted as a standalone coverage line.

You can add or upgrade policies through Corgi’s dashboard as funding, hiring or contract needs change; renewal and cancellation remain subject to your policy and state rules. ^2,1Company-reportedCompany description of post-bind servicing and cancellation. Actual endorsement terms remain in the policy. This does not establish a specific renewal guarantee or a finding that renewals are unavailable.

Existing policyholders may renew legacy management products, but new customers use EMIS; switching requires a new application, according to Embroker. ³¹Company-reportedLaunch announcement’s stated transition rules as of research date; not a renewal guarantee.

Broker-of-record clients can download policies and certificates from Embroker’s account; custom certificate wording may require a policy endorsement. ²⁶Company-reportedFAQ Other insurance services; payment/down-payment conditions apply to first-time certificate access. Not independently tested in an authenticated account.

Check your renewal deadline: some Embroker policies renew through the insurer, while others require a fresh application and underwriting; the effective date on the new policy controls when protection starts. ²⁶Company-reportedFAQ Renewals. No automatic-renewal promise across all products and no tested service response time.

Before switching brokers, check access to certificates, policy changes and renewal of proprietary products; Embroker says those account functions may end when its brokerage relationship ends. ²⁶Company-reportedFAQ Engaging Embroker, What happens if I leave Embroker in the future? Not a finding that existing insurance cancels automatically on a broker change.

Ask for the commission or customer fee on your policy because Corgi Insurance Services may receive either from you or the insurer. ¹Company-reportedProducer compensation disclosure. Website, self-serve, or other direct distribution is not a finding of zero commissions or fees. Specific amounts were not published in the reviewed sources.

Corgi gives annual price examples of $2,000–$5,000 for eligible pre-seed/seed startups and $5,000–$15,000 for Series A; your quote depends on risk, state, coverage and limits. ^2,6,7Company-reportedCompany-reported ranges and a marketing savings claim, not comparable quotes. They are not premiums for a defined risk, limit, retention, or policy period. “Underwrites directly” is not a finding of zero producer commissions or fees, and no public methodology for the 30 percent figure was found.

Ask whether your quote includes commissions, contingent or supplemental compensation, or client fees; Embroker says its software is free but insurance services may generate these payments, agreed before binding. ²⁵Company-reportedCompensation disclosure; no policy-specific rate or amount established. Free software does not mean free insurance or zero distribution compensation.

Get payment-processing and finance costs separately from broker compensation because processors and premium-finance lenders may charge their own fees. ²⁴Company-reportedTerms §§2A and 22; no specific financing offer reviewed.

Corgi says its claims team can help with reporting, documents, legal coordination and updates, but an affiliate or third-party administrator may handle the file; the named insurer decides coverage and payment. ^1,2,12Company-reportedCompany claims-handling and TPA disclosures. Offering claims administration is not a measure of claims-payment quality, and the TPA announcement does not by itself identify the administrator on a Corgi-issued policy.

Use your account’s Claims tab for reporting instructions; for active cyber incidents follow the hotline in your policy, and report other claims to the insurer named there. ⁴¹Company-reportedClaims page How it works and FAQ. No submission performed. Policy-specific reporting requirements take priority over general website steps.

Embroker says it aims to issue a written coverage determination within 30 days, but gives no claim-resolution schedule; a coverage decision is not a payment deadline or proof of performance. ⁴¹Company-reportedSame claims page: Step 2 versus How long will it take to work through the claim? Distinct stages, not treated as a direct contradiction. No national statutory deadline asserted.
