# Lockton vs Simply Business

Compare Lockton and Simply Business by coverage fit, application route, insurer roles and the questions to ask before choosing a small-business policy.

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

## Highlights

Consider Lockton if your business fits technology or cyber businesses and businesses seeking broker or risk advice, and Simply Business if it fits small businesses.

## Introduction

This comparison pairs technology or cyber businesses and businesses seeking broker or risk advice through Lockton with small businesses through Simply Business.

A listing may be arranged through an insurer or partner. “Not listed” means this catalogue has no separate offering recorded; ask the provider whether it can quote the coverage and request the policy terms.



## 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 Lockton and Simply Business

### Business Fit and Coverage

The catalogues share commercial property, cyber, general liability; other listed lines appear in the comparison table. For the overlap, match the policy forms, limits, exclusions and endorsements before treating the products as alternatives. A shared line name does not establish equal protection or eligibility.

Technology, hardware, software, internet, medical-device, semiconductor and telecom organizations can ask Lockton about brokerage; public pages give no company-size, funding or revenue minimum. [1](https://global.lockton.com/us/en "Lockton United States") [2](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/technology "Technology") [10](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/products-services/solutions-for-private-equity-firms "Risk & People Solutions for Private Equity Firms") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: US technology, homepage and private-equity service pages. Presence of a technology practice is not an eligibility guarantee for a bootstrapped or early-stage startup.; verified: 2026-09-16.)

Simply Business says it serves small businesses and solopreneurs and lists examples such as contractors, cleaning businesses, LLCs and sole proprietors. These examples describe its stated audience, not guaranteed insurer eligibility or availability. [23](https://www.simplybusiness.com/about-us/ "Our Small Business Insurance Story") [28](https://www.simplybusiness.com/business-insurance/ "Business Insurance for Small Businesses") [24](https://www.simplybusiness.com/terms-conditions/ "Terms of Service") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Company-described U.S. audience; eligibility varies by insurer, state and business details.; verified: 2026-09-29.)

Technology and private-equity buyers can ask about cyber, D&O, contract review and international programs; Lockton also lists casualty, property, fiduciary, benefits, E&O, crime, EPL, surety, key-person and transaction products. Actual forms, limits and eligibility require a quote. [2](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/technology "Technology") [3](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/cyber-technology "Cyber & Technology") [4](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/products-services/d-and-o-insurance "D&O Insurance") [5](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/products-services/casualty "Casualty Insurance") [6](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/products-services/property "Property Insurance") [7](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/products-services/workers-compensation "Workers' Compensation") [8](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/products-services/employee-benefits "Lockton People Solutions") [9](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/products-services/fiduciary-liability-insurance "Fiduciary Liability Insurance") [10](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/products-services/solutions-for-private-equity-firms "Risk & People Solutions for Private Equity Firms") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Direct US product and industry pages accessed 16 September 2026. Technology errors and omissions is discussed in educational Lockton articles but was not added from those articles alone. Catalogue entries from the private-equity page are marketed in that industry context.; verified: 2026-09-16.)

### Roles and Quote Access

You work with Lockton as a broker for risk, benefits and retirement programs; it arranges and services policies but is not the risk-bearing insurer. [1](https://global.lockton.com/us/en "Lockton United States") [13](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/terms-of-business "US Terms of Business") [20](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/our-story "Our Story") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Company-reported US brand and Terms of Business. The contracting Lockton company can differ by client. Private-ownership and independence claims are marketing statements, not a regulatory finding.; verified: 2026-09-16.)

Simply Business describes its U.S. service as an online commercial-insurance marketplace and licensed producer connecting business customers with insurers. Its June 30, 2026 Terms identify Simply Business, LLC and Harborway Insurance Agency, LLC d/b/a Harborway Insurance as licensed producers, with Harborway a Simply Business subsidiary; the Terms say Harborway policies are underwritten by Spinnaker Insurance Company. Other site policies are underwritten by third-party providers, so the selected issuer depends on the offer and policy. These roles and license statements are company-reported. The contact-page footer says Simply Business, LLC is licensed in all U.S. states and D.C.; for California it says the company operates under the name Simply Business Insurance Agency, LLC and displays License #0M20593. The footer also lists Colorado, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas operating names; it gives no other license identifiers. No regulator lookup was performed or required for this candidate. [23](https://www.simplybusiness.com/about-us/ "Our Small Business Insurance Story") [24](https://www.simplybusiness.com/terms-conditions/ "Terms of Service") [36](https://www.travelers.com/about-travelers/producer-compensation-disclosure "Producer Compensation Disclosure (United States)") [25](https://www.simplybusiness.com/contact-us/ "Contact Us") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: U.S. commercial insurance distribution described by the company. Simply Business, LLC, Simply Business, Inc., Harborway Insurance Agency, LLC, the stated parent and each policy issuer are distinct. The Inc./LLC relationship remains unresolved.; verified: 2026-09-29.)

You can start with a Lockton team inquiry or email its cyber and technology group; reviewed pages do not offer a self-service bind flow or guaranteed quote turnaround. [12](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/contact-us "Contact Us") [1](https://global.lockton.com/us/en "Lockton United States") [15](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/privacy-notice "Lockton Companies Website Privacy Notice") [3](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/cyber-technology "Cyber & Technology") [14](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/terms-of-use "Lockton US Terms of Use") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: US contact, privacy, technology and cyber-technology pages. Form submission was not completed. Website terms state site content is general information, not broking advice.; verified: 2026-09-16.)

The company advertises online quotes and weekday phone access to licensed agents. Its Terms say a quote is not guaranteed and Simply Business cannot bind a risk without panel-member approval; a quote or online purchase path does not establish that every applicant can bind online. [25](https://www.simplybusiness.com/contact-us/ "Contact Us") [24](https://www.simplybusiness.com/terms-conditions/ "Terms of Service") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Published U.S. quote and service channels. Binding depends on panel-member approval and the individual offer.; verified: 2026-09-29.)

Use these routes to plan who will assemble the submission and whether you can complete the purchase online or need an agent or broker. Ask Lockton and Simply Business to confirm the route for your state, coverage and business details; an online quote path alone does not show that a risk can be bound. [12](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/contact-us "Contact Us") [25](https://www.simplybusiness.com/contact-us/ "Contact Us")

### Policy Service and Claims

Lockton describes dedicated account teams, risk control and renewal service, including a round-the-clock technology service model; confirm actual service commitments and portal features because public pages provide no standard service agreement. [5](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/products-services/casualty "Casualty Insurance") [2](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/technology "Technology") [13](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/terms-of-business "US Terms of Business") [6](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/products-services/property "Property Insurance") [1](https://global.lockton.com/us/en "Lockton United States") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Company service descriptions and default Terms of Business; a signed services agreement can differ. Portal capabilities remain undocumented in this review.; verified: 2026-09-16.)

The company describes account access for policy documents, certificates, account updates and adding coverage; help material routes some changes to an agent or insurer. Not every policy change is described as self-service. [25](https://www.simplybusiness.com/contact-us/ "Contact Us") [26](https://www.simplybusiness.com/help-center/ "Help Center") [24](https://www.simplybusiness.com/terms-conditions/ "Terms of Service") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Company-described post-purchase service paths; available tasks may depend on policy and insurer.; verified: 2026-09-29.)

Lockton says its integrated claims team helps investigate, map facts to coverage and negotiate with insurers, but Lockton does not pay claims; service descriptions do not establish claim outcomes or quality. [2](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/technology "Technology") [4](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/products-services/d-and-o-insurance "D&O Insurance") [9](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/products-services/fiduciary-liability-insurance "Fiduciary Liability Insurance") [11](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/products-services/loss-prevention-and-claims "Loss Prevention and Claims") [7](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/products-services/workers-compensation "Workers' Compensation") [13](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/terms-of-business "US Terms of Business") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Company-reported advocacy and consulting. Lockton is not identified as the claims-paying insurer.; verified: 2026-09-16.)

The Terms say third-party insurers underwrite site policies and each provider handles claims on its own policies; the Help Center directs policyholders to identify and contact the insurer. This establishes a published route, not agency assistance after notice or claim outcomes. [24](https://www.simplybusiness.com/terms-conditions/ "Terms of Service") [26](https://www.simplybusiness.com/help-center/ "Help Center") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: General site-policy claim responsibility. Harborway/Spinnaker applies only to the named Harborway placement relationship.; verified: 2026-09-29.)

Compare the practical handoffs for documents, policy changes, renewal questions and claim notices. A listed support route describes access to help, not a claim outcome or a guarantee of service speed.

## What to Confirm in Quotes

Request quotes for the same business details, coverage lines, limits, deductibles or retentions and policy period. Ask Lockton and Simply Business to name the producer and issuing insurer for each proposed policy, confirm who can bind it, and itemize any customer fees or intermediary compensation. For the overlapping commercial property, cyber, general liability, compare the actual insuring agreement, exclusions, sublimits and endorsements. Also confirm who handles account changes and receives claim notices. [13](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/terms-of-business "US Terms of Business") [23](https://www.simplybusiness.com/about-us/ "Our Small Business Insurance Story") [13](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/terms-of-business "US Terms of Business") [24](https://www.simplybusiness.com/terms-conditions/ "Terms of Service")

[21](https://pdfnet.lockton.com/previewliabilityholder.aspx?hid=16856448&cid=153853&mid=0&iid=0&lname=CertKeyUser&blank=FALSE&isHco=FALSE&queuetype=holder&tid=3AED1A5B0390C976D7DFC1757B12DEBDE6CDCE7F "Lockton-produced certificate of insurance producer header") [22](https://www.insurance.ca.gov/license-status/ "California Department of Insurance — Check a License") (Evidence: Not found in reviewed sources; scope: Company-issued certificate header versus CDI lookup homepage only. Not a finding that the license is inactive or that California product placement is unavailable.; verified: 2026-09-16.) | Simply Business describes its U.S. service as an online commercial-insurance marketplace and licensed producer connecting business customers with insurers. Its June 30, 2026 Terms identify Simply Business, LLC and Harborway Insurance Agency, LLC d/b/a Harborway Insurance as licensed producers, with Harborway a Simply Business subsidiary; the Terms say Harborway policies are underwritten by Spinnaker Insurance Company. Other site policies are underwritten by third-party providers, so the selected issuer depends on the offer and policy. These roles and license statements are company-reported. The contact-page footer says Simply Business, LLC is licensed in all U.S. states and D.C.; for California it says the company operates under the name Simply Business Insurance Agency, LLC and displays License #0M20593. The footer also lists Colorado, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas operating names; it gives no other license identifiers. No regulator lookup was performed or required for this candidate. [23](https://www.simplybusiness.com/about-us/ "Our Small Business Insurance Story") [24](https://www.simplybusiness.com/terms-conditions/ "Terms of Service") [36](https://www.travelers.com/about-travelers/producer-compensation-disclosure "Producer Compensation Disclosure (United States)") [25](https://www.simplybusiness.com/contact-us/ "Contact Us") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: U.S. commercial insurance distribution described by the company. Simply Business, LLC, Simply Business, Inc., Harborway Insurance Agency, LLC, the stated parent and each policy issuer are distinct. The Inc./LLC relationship remains unresolved.; verified: 2026-09-29.) |
| Application process | You can start with a Lockton team inquiry or email its cyber and technology group; reviewed pages do not offer a self-service bind flow or guaranteed quote turnaround. [12](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/contact-us "Contact Us") [1](https://global.lockton.com/us/en "Lockton United States") [15](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/privacy-notice "Lockton Companies Website Privacy Notice") [3](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/cyber-technology "Cyber & Technology") [14](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/terms-of-use "Lockton US Terms of Use") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: US contact, privacy, technology and cyber-technology pages. Form submission was not completed. Website terms state site content is general information, not broking advice.; verified: 2026-09-16.) | The company advertises online quotes and weekday phone access to licensed agents. Its Terms say a quote is not guaranteed and Simply Business cannot bind a risk without panel-member approval; a quote or online purchase path does not establish that every applicant can bind online. [25](https://www.simplybusiness.com/contact-us/ "Contact Us") [24](https://www.simplybusiness.com/terms-conditions/ "Terms of Service") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Published U.S. quote and service channels. Binding depends on panel-member approval and the individual offer.; verified: 2026-09-29.) |
| Servicing and renewals | Lockton describes dedicated account teams, risk control and renewal service, including a round-the-clock technology service model; confirm actual service commitments and portal features because public pages provide no standard service agreement. [5](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/products-services/casualty "Casualty Insurance") [2](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/technology "Technology") [13](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/terms-of-business "US Terms of Business") [6](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/products-services/property "Property Insurance") [1](https://global.lockton.com/us/en "Lockton United States") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Company service descriptions and default Terms of Business; a signed services agreement can differ. Portal capabilities remain undocumented in this review.; verified: 2026-09-16.) | Simply Business lists licensed-agent phone support Monday through Friday: sales 8 a.m.–8 p.m. Eastern Time and service 9 a.m.–6 p.m. These listed hours do not establish a response-time guarantee. [25](https://www.simplybusiness.com/contact-us/ "Contact Us") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Hours displayed on the current U.S. contact page; no actual wait-time observation is implied.; verified: 2026-09-29.)<br><br>The company describes account access for policy documents, certificates, account updates and adding coverage; help material routes some changes to an agent or insurer. Not every policy change is described as self-service. [25](https://www.simplybusiness.com/contact-us/ "Contact Us") [26](https://www.simplybusiness.com/help-center/ "Help Center") [24](https://www.simplybusiness.com/terms-conditions/ "Terms of Service") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Company-described post-purchase service paths; available tasks may depend on policy and insurer.; verified: 2026-09-29.)<br><br>The Help Center FAQ says most customers opt into automatic renewal and gives 60-day notice and 30-day processing timing only for those who opt in. The same Help Center summary and June 30, 2026 Terms use broader automatic-renewal wording without the FAQ’s opt-in qualification. The public descriptions conflict; they do not establish which wording applies to every policy. [26](https://www.simplybusiness.com/help-center/ "Help Center") [24](https://www.simplybusiness.com/terms-conditions/ "Terms of Service") (Evidence: Conflicting sources; scope: Company-published descriptions reviewed 2026-09-29. FAQ detail, Help Center summary and Terms are inconsistent; no buyer-specific policy notice was reviewed.; verified: 2026-09-29.) |
| Claims assistance | Lockton says its integrated claims team helps investigate, map facts to coverage and negotiate with insurers, but Lockton does not pay claims; service descriptions do not establish claim outcomes or quality. [2](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/technology "Technology") [4](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/products-services/d-and-o-insurance "D&O Insurance") [9](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/products-services/fiduciary-liability-insurance "Fiduciary Liability Insurance") [11](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/products-services/loss-prevention-and-claims "Loss Prevention and Claims") [7](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/products-services/workers-compensation "Workers' Compensation") [13](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/terms-of-business "US Terms of Business") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Company-reported advocacy and consulting. Lockton is not identified as the claims-paying insurer.; verified: 2026-09-16.) | The Terms say third-party insurers underwrite site policies and each provider handles claims on its own policies; the Help Center directs policyholders to identify and contact the insurer. This establishes a published route, not agency assistance after notice or claim outcomes. [24](https://www.simplybusiness.com/terms-conditions/ "Terms of Service") [26](https://www.simplybusiness.com/help-center/ "Help Center") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: General site-policy claim responsibility. Harborway/Spinnaker applies only to the named Harborway placement relationship.; verified: 2026-09-29.) |
| Customer focus | Technology, hardware, software, internet, medical-device, semiconductor and telecom organizations can ask Lockton about brokerage; public pages give no company-size, funding or revenue minimum. [1](https://global.lockton.com/us/en "Lockton United States") [2](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/technology "Technology") [10](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/products-services/solutions-for-private-equity-firms "Risk & People Solutions for Private Equity Firms") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: US technology, homepage and private-equity service pages. Presence of a technology practice is not an eligibility guarantee for a bootstrapped or early-stage startup.; verified: 2026-09-16.) | Simply Business says it serves small businesses and solopreneurs and lists examples such as contractors, cleaning businesses, LLCs and sole proprietors. These examples describe its stated audience, not guaranteed insurer eligibility or availability. [23](https://www.simplybusiness.com/about-us/ "Our Small Business Insurance Story") [28](https://www.simplybusiness.com/business-insurance/ "Business Insurance for Small Businesses") [24](https://www.simplybusiness.com/terms-conditions/ "Terms of Service") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Company-described U.S. audience; eligibility varies by insurer, state and business details.; verified: 2026-09-29.) |
| Fees and compensation | Request all commissions and fees for your account: Lockton’s terms allow insurer commissions, client fees, contingent/supplemental compensation, insurer service fees, affiliate reinsurance income and finance interest, but publish no standard rates. [13](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/terms-of-business "US Terms of Business") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Compensation Disclosure section of US Terms of Business. Amounts for a given account are not disclosed on the public site.; verified: 2026-09-16.) | The Terms say Simply Business receives commission or other compensation from or through panel members and that customers may also incur separate processing, administrative, service, installment or cancellation fees. They give no amount or placement-specific applicability; the Terms say charges are disclosed before purchase. [24](https://www.simplybusiness.com/terms-conditions/ "Terms of Service") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: General disclosure dated 2026-06-30; no specific commission, fee schedule, premium or customer charge was reviewed.; verified: 2026-09-29.) |
