Corgi vs HUB International

How Corgi’s stage-based startup packages differ from HUB International’s brokerage and Insureon small-commercial path when a software company outgrows a packaged D&O and E&O set.

Introduction

Corgi and HUB International both address technology startups, but they sit in different places in a placement. Corgi packages pre-seed through growth coverages and places them with affiliated or partner insurers. HUB is a broker: its technology practice markets a wide catalogue, and Contact Us sends companies with 50 or fewer employees or under $5 million in revenue to Insureon for an online quote. The practical question is whether you want a documented startup package with a named application path, or a brokerage conversation that may still send a small account to a digital agency. 2 6 32 30

Where Each Provider Shines

Where Corgi Shines

  • Stage-based packages give technology startups a starting point from pre-seed through growth, with a custom option. 2,3,6,15
  • Corgi says customers can add or upgrade policies through its dashboard as funding, hiring and contract requirements change. 2,1

Where HUB International Shines

  • HUB’s technology practice markets insurance and benefits programs to startups and software, hardware and digital-media companies, and says it currently insures more than 5,000 technology companies. 32
  • HUB routes qualifying small commercial accounts to Insureon’s online quote and other business insurance to a HUB advisor or local office; there is no published self-serve bind path for mid-market programs on hubinternational.com. 30,33,34,35,32,28

Key Differences Between Corgi and HUB International

Who Places the Risk, and Who Issues It

Corgi describes itself as a producer that places startup packages with affiliated or partner insurers, not as a stand-in for every issuing company on a policy. 1 2 HUB International Limited describes a brokerage: its terms say subsidiaries are licensed as brokers or agents in various U.S. states, and the product pages market placement with insurers rather than HUB as the risk-bearing carrier. 26 27

Corgi’s materials distinguish admitted partner paper from risk-retention-group liability where that vehicle is used. HUB’s published technology pages do not name the issuing company for a placement. Insureon examples such as The Hartford or Chubb apply only if that digital agency is the channel. Ask which legal producer and insurer would appear on your declarations before treating the brands as interchangeable. 1 56

Stage Packages Versus a Broker Catalogue

Corgi organizes buyers by funding stage. HUB lists professional liability/technology errors and omissions, cyber, directors and officers, benefits and key-person coverages for technology companies and reports more than 5,000 technology clients—a company figure, not a count of California-eligible programs. A line missing from Corgi’s package list is not proof HUB cannot arrange it, and HUB’s catalogue is not a promise those lines are available to a seed-stage company. 2 32

How You Start

Corgi documents a self-serve application for its packages. 2 HUB’s commercial product pages ask buyers to contact a broker; Contact Us sends companies with 50 or fewer employees or under $5 million in revenue to Insureon for an online quote. 30 33

If you sit under HUB’s published size gate, compare Corgi’s flow with Insureon, not with an unnamed HUB office meeting. If you are above that gate, Corgi’s self-serve path and HUB’s advisor inquiry are different operating models. 30 2

Intermediary Pay

Corgi discloses producer compensation and some package price bands that still require a quote. HUB discloses insurer commissions, contingents, possible client fees and Strategic Carrier incentives without a public percentage schedule. Neither page ranks total cost. 1 29

What to Confirm in Quotes

  • Channel: whether a HUB inquiry is Insureon/Specialty Program Group or HUB retail, and Corgi’s issuing paper (admitted partner versus risk retention group). 30 1

  • Forms: directors and officers, errors and omissions/cyber wording, retroactive dates and any risk-retention-group limitations versus HUB’s proposed insurers. 5 34

  • California contracting entity: Corgi’s published license list versus HUB’s unnamed retail subsidiary and Insureon’s 0L09546 disclosure. 4 57

Service Comparison

Corgi vs HUB International: documented services and availability

CriteriaCorgiHUB International
Business role

Corgi Insurance Services, Inc. is the licensed agency that sells and administers Corgi policies. The insurer named in your policy provides the coverage. 1,2,4

HUB International Limited describes itself as a full-service insurance broker and financial-services firm. Its website terms say HUB’s subsidiaries are licensed as insurance brokers or agents in various U.S. states and Canadian provinces. The reviewed product pages market brokerage of policies issued by insurers, not HUB as a risk-bearing carrier for those policies. 26,27,31

HUB’s About Us timeline states that in 2022 it acquired Insureon for digital delivery of small-business commercial insurance. Insureon and TechInsurance say they are part of HUB; Insureon says it operates as a division of Specialty Program Group LLC, doing business as SPG Insurance Solutions. TechInsurance describes itself as part of Insureon rather than as a separate HUB retail office. 26,56,57,58,59

Customer focus

Corgi offers business insurance for technology companies and startups, with packages for pre-seed and seed, Series A, and growth-stage businesses, plus a custom option. 2,3,6,15

In August 2026, Corgi announced product filings for offices, retail, restaurants, personal services, self-storage, wholesalers, community associations, and small rental properties. Availability depends on the product and state. 9

HUB’s San Francisco Mission Street office says its brokers work across commercial lines, personal lines and high-net-worth, and employee benefits, and names Bay Area industries including technology, venture capital, healthcare and life sciences, real estate and construction. The same page says the team helps startups navigate risk. That is office marketing, not a published eligibility list. 23,24

HUB’s technology-company page addresses fast-growing startups and established software, hardware or digital-media businesses. It lists a technology-specific mix that includes professional liability/technology E&O, cyber, D&O and other management liability, transactional/warranty insurance, workers’ compensation, employee benefits and key-person coverages. The page also claims more than 5,000 technology companies currently insured; that figure is company-reported and was not independently counted here. 32

HUB’s contact page says it supports small businesses through partner Insureon and directs companies with 50 employees or fewer or under $5 million in annual revenue to start with an online quote. Larger or other commercial needs are directed to HUB commercial-insurance teams or a local office search. Those thresholds are HUB’s routing rules, not a regulatory definition of small business. 30

Application process

You can apply online or book a call with a Corgi specialist. Corgi says eligible applicants can get a quote in minutes and buy coverage the same day. Its disclosures describe both an issued-policy-and-payment condition and temporary coverage under a written binder. Confirm the applicable conditions and effective date in writing. 2,1

On hubinternational.com, commercial buyers are asked to contact a broker, connect with a specialist, or use Contact Us. Small-commercial inquiries meeting HUB’s stated size tests go to Insureon for an online quote. Product pages such as general liability, D&O, cyber and workers’ compensation use “Contact Us” or “Connect With a Broker” rather than an on-site bind flow. Privacy policy language refers to automation for insurance quoting, without documenting a public HUB retail e-commerce checkout for mid-market programs. 30,33,34,35,32,28

Coverage lines

Corgi’s startup packages combine general liability, directors and officers, technology errors and omissions, cyber, media, employment practices, fiduciary, and hired and non-owned auto coverage. Its technology offering includes a Tech & AI Liability module. 2,8,10

Corgi’s D&O page describes claims-made coverage for directors, officers, and the company under form CORG-DO-0100, issued by Technology Risk Retention Group. The example has defense costs within the policy limit and a $25,000 per-claim retention—the portion of a claim you pay. Your quote and policy set the actual terms. 5

Risk retention groups can write business liability insurance for their members. They cannot provide other types of insurance, such as property coverage, so a package with those products needs another insurer. 19,21

HUB publishes dedicated business-insurance product pages for, among other lines, general liability, commercial property, workers’ compensation, business owners policies, commercial auto (including hired and non-owned exposures and trucking), cyber, directors and officers, professional liability/E&O, crime, fiduciary liability, kidnap and ransom, surety bonds, medical malpractice, marine/inland marine and cargo, boiler and machinery/equipment breakdown, and mergers-and-acquisitions representations-and-warranties insurance. Its casualty page also lists product liability, umbrella and excess, and product-recall as program elements. Employee-benefits brokerage is marketed separately. Actual policy forms, limits and eligibility are not set by those marketing pages. 31,33,41,39,40,42,35,34,36,37,43,44,45,46,47,50,51,48,49,52,38

For technology companies, HUB lists professional liability/technology E&O, cyber, a patent package described as property, auto, liability and umbrella, international placements, cargo/stock throughput, property/builders risk, pollution liability, management liability including D&O, employment-practices liability, fiduciary liability, transactional/warranty insurance, crime, workers’ compensation, employee benefits, key-person life and disability, retirement solutions, and kidnap and ransom. 32

Fees and compensation

Corgi Insurance Services may receive commissions or fees from the insurer or the customer. You can ask for the type and amount of compensation on your policy. 1

Corgi lists typical annual prices of $2,000–$5,000 for eligible pre-seed and seed startups and $5,000–$15,000 for Series A companies. Your price depends on the business, state, coverage, limits, and other underwriting details. 2,6,7

HUB’s How We Get Paid page says it is compensated primarily through insurer-paid commissions included in premium, and also through contingent income, guaranteed supplemental commissions, and, on some complex programs, client-paid fees disclosed in a proposal, sometimes in addition to commission. It owns wholesale brokerages that may earn a second commission when HUB retail uses them. It may receive fees for de-identified data under insurer consulting agreements, premium-finance administration, interest on fiduciary accounts, and policy or claims administration. Strategic Carriers may pay enhanced compensation, part of which may incentivize employees to prioritize those markets. No schedule of commission percentages or standard fees is published. 29
