The analysis identifies differences and questions to confirm; it does not select a winner for a particular business. This is published research as of the verification dates shown, not a live quote or an eligibility determination. “Company-reported” identifies a provider's own claim. “Not found” and “not publicly disclosed” describe the evidence reviewed, not proof that a service is unavailable. Preserve the scope and citations when summarizing a fact. For a decision handoff, identify the company's requirements, the documented differences relevant to them, and unresolved questions from the analysis. Confirm actual insurer, availability, policy wording, limits, retentions, exclusions, and costs in the relevant quote and policy documents. ## Highlights Marsh is a Marsh McLennan insurance broker with a Technology Practice and, in the US and Canada, Marsh McLennan Agency for middle-market companies. USI is a US middle-market brokerage and consulting firm that Aon has agreed to acquire, with closing expected in the fourth quarter of 2026 and independent operation until then.

Marsh may staff you through Marsh proper or Marsh McLennan Agency. USI is still a standalone firm under a signed Aon agreement. Aon’s close, if it happens, would put USI inside Aon—not inside Marsh. That is a different combination than Marsh McLennan already is.

products and programs may be arranged through insurers or partners. Optional endorsements are discussed in the analysis. “Not listed” means no separate offering appears in the reviewed catalogue; confirm availability and policy terms with the provider. ## 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://cal.com/team/spotinsure/insurance-consultation). The company decides what to buy; Spot does not automatically bind coverage. Consult [Spot pricing](https://spot.insure/pricing.md) for ongoing service fees. This is a service offered by the publisher, separate from the provider research. ## Key Differences Between Marsh and USI ### Which Door You Enter Marsh’s Technology Practice and Marsh McLennan Agency middle-market story can be different teams. Ask which entity, production office, and service center would own a software account in California. USI likewise has local offices plus national practices; ask who would staff you rather than assuming a headquarters address is your service team. [22](https://www.marshmma.com/us/mma/about-us.html "Who We Are | MMA") [36](https://www.usi.com/about-usi/locations "Find a USI office near you") ### Producer Identity Marsh’s California producer license status is not independently verified on the materials used here. USI’s California number is company-printed on a biography. Neither is a completed California Department of Insurance verification. [32](https://cdicloud.insurance.ca.gov/cal/LicenseNumberSearch "License Number Search") [54](https://info.usi.com/rs/121-VCO-807/images/Gyalzen_Phurba%2007-21.pdf "USI Insurance Services LLC associate biography (San Francisco)") ### How You Start Both use forms and banker-style intake rather than consumer checkout. Marsh’s contact-select and business-form paths are still inquiries. USI’s message box is unsecured. [15](https://www.marsh.com/en/contact-us/contact-select.html "Contact us inquiries") [37](https://www.usi.com/contact-us/ "Contact Us") ### Compensation Guides Marsh publishes a compensation/transparency guide. USI publishes a commissions-and-fees page. Request both as exhibits with your name on them, including contingents and affiliate intermediaries. [17](https://www.marsh.com/us/about-marsh/leading-the-way-in-transparency.html "Leading the Way in Transparency") ### Claims Marsh describes cyber claims and claims-management support. USI describes office routing and a 2021 claims kit. Ask who is on call for a ransomware notice, and which phone number or portal the policy requires. [9](https://www.marsh.com/en/services/cyber-risk/expertise/claims-advocacy.html "Claims Advocacy") [51](https://www.usi.com/siteassets/2021-claims-reporting-guidelines.pdf "Client Emergency Preparedness Claims Kit") ## What to Confirm in Quotes - Marsh versus Marsh McLennan Agency contracting entity versus USI Insurance Services LLC.

The transparency page describes determining appropriate insurers and negotiating with those insurers. Marsh is not identified in these sources as the insurer that issues or pays the policy.

Contact pages ask you to choose an inquiry type, including a sales or RFP route. The business-inquiry page says to complete a form and that a representative will respond within 48 hours; it points existing-policy certificate, billing and policy questions elsewhere. The inquiry page does not display premiums or bind coverage. The 48-hour response time is a company statement, not a binding or service guarantee.

Marsh describes a broker-led placement: identifying insurers for the risk, negotiating coverage and price, and, in core US broking segments, disclosing quotes and premium indications received. It may share incumbent or competing insurer names, pricing objectives, expiring terms, or give an insurer a last look when it believes that is in the client’s interest or the client instructs it.

Marsh says it does not accept contingent commissions on domestic placements for US clients in core broking operations, except for employee health and benefits or when acting as managing general agent or underwriting manager; Marsh McLennan Agency does accept contingent commissions.

MMA’s 2026 guide landing page was reviewed; the MMA PDF itself was not fully extracted. Absence of a public price is not zero cost.; verified: 2026-09-16.) | Unless otherwise negotiated, USI says compensation for placing coverage is customarily a commission calculated as a percentage of premium and paid by the insurer. It may also receive additional monetary and non-monetary compensation from insurers or intermediaries (including affiliates), which can be contingent on volume, profitability, or other factors, and some agreements include growth or distribution incentives. Clients may request the nature and source of expected compensation, including on alternative quotes. Standard commission percentages and fee schedules for startup accounts are not published.

Account-specific amounts require a proposal.; verified: 2026-09-16.) | | Claims assistance | Marsh’s Claims Management service describes acting as an advisor among the business, insurer and third-party administrator: preparing, presenting and negotiating claims. Its cyber claims-advocacy page says specialists review claims, support litigation management, develop proof of loss with forensic accountants and advocate with insurers. MMA similarly describes claims advocacy as a carrier liaison on cyber matters and as part of property and casualty service. These are descriptions of assistance. They do not establish that Marsh pays claims, that a claim will be covered, or that recovery amounts cited in marketing were independently checked.

The cyber page’s “recovering billions” language is not adopted as a verified performance statistic.; verified: 2026-09-16.) | USI’s contact page tells people seeking claims assistance to contact the appropriate USI office. A May 2021 claims kit instructs clients to report property, workers’ compensation, general liability, and commercial auto claims to the insurance company, and to involve the USI account team or claims consultant for environmental, executive/management liability, professional liability/E&O, and cyber. Natural-disaster guidance likewise points commercial P&C clients to their claims representative or client service team. The materials describe reporting assistance, not claims-handling quality or authority to settle.
