### Travelers

Role: Insurance carrier.

Carrier & MGA Spot Score: **6.1/10** (partial score; 45% of this role's weighting included). Assessed 2026-09-23; review due 2026-10-23. Excluded factors: Financial Resilience (AM Best rates The Travelers Indemnity Company A++ (Superior) with a stable outlook, but a rating is an opinion, not a financial statement. Standalone statutory figures for the named insurers were not collected and the other financial evidence describes the consolidated group, so the issuing entity’s own resources are not established.); Carrier-Network Strength (The reviewed evidence does not name the carrier and capacity arrangements behind the assessed programs, so the relationships cannot be assessed.); Regulatory Conduct (A complete, exact-entity regulatory-conduct review for the preceding five years is unavailable.).

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 THREE and Travelers



### Customer Fit and Application

Compare each provider’s stated customer focus against your business activities and stage; a published target market is not a guarantee of eligibility.

THREE describes its focus as businesses and presents industries it serves. Berkshire Hathaway’s 2025 annual report says BH Direct and GUARD together primarily offer commercial insurance to small and medium-sized businesses; it separately says BH Direct underwrites through the biBERK.com and Threeinsurance.com distribution platforms. Eligibility varies by state and business. [1](https://threeinsurance.com/ "THREE by Berkshire Hathaway — small business insurance") [7](https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/2025ar/202510-k.pdf "Berkshire Hathaway Inc. 2025 Annual Report / Form 10-K") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: THREE’s company-described business focus and industry examples, plus the 2025 report’s joint BH Direct-and-GUARD SMB statement. The report does not attribute that customer-size focus to BHDIC alone; actual eligibility varies by state and business.; verified: 2026-09-28.)

Travelers markets technology insurance to startups and established industry leaders, including software developers and platforms, technology consultants, IT staffing companies, network integrators, electronics manufacturers, telecommunications firms and platform-economy companies. A separate small-business technology-services BOP is described for classes such as software development, web developers and IT consultants. [13](https://www.travelers.com/business-insurance/technology "Technology Insurance") [16](https://www.travelers.com/business-insurance/technology/information-technology "IT Insurance") [14](https://www.travelers.com/small-business-insurance/technology-services "Small Business Technology Services Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Company-described audiences on technology and small-business pages. Marketing to a class is not underwriting approval, and eligibility remains quote-specific.; verified: 2026-09-16.)

These entry points show how to start; they do not confirm eligibility or that coverage has been bound. [1](https://threeinsurance.com/ "THREE by Berkshire Hathaway — small business insurance") [1](https://threeinsurance.com/ "THREE by Berkshire Hathaway — small business insurance") [10](https://threeinsurance.com/business-owners-policy "Business Owners Policy | THREE") [18](https://www.travelers.com/contact-us "Contact Us") [13](https://www.travelers.com/business-insurance/technology "Technology Insurance")

THREE directs prospective customers to an online quote flow and says licensed Small Business Advisors can help them start or continue the process; the company’s FAQ also describes a phone quote and says an unfinished quote can be saved and resumed. This documents quote routes, not online purchase or binding by an individual customer. [1](https://threeinsurance.com/ "THREE by Berkshire Hathaway — small business insurance") [3](https://threeinsurance.com/faqs "FAQs: Understanding THREE") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: U.S. business insurance quote application. Company-described online and phone process; no customer form was submitted and no binding outcome was tested.; verified: 2026-09-28.)

Travelers tells business buyers to get a quote through an independent agent, using a public agency locator. Its 2025 Form 10-K says Select Accounts uses an automated underwriting platform so agents can quote, bind and issue a substantial amount of small-business risks, while more complex risks are underwritten with company personnel. Technology and CyberRisk Tech pages likewise tell buyers to consult an agent or Travelers representative; a direct public bind path for technology packages was not found on the reviewed pages. [18](https://www.travelers.com/contact-us "Contact Us") [35](https://agent.travelers.com/search "Find the nearest Travelers Insurance agency") [13](https://www.travelers.com/business-insurance/technology "Technology Insurance") [15](https://www.travelers.com/business-insurance/cyber-insurance/technology "Cyber Insurance for Technology and Life Sciences") [41](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/86312/000008631226000065/trv-12312025x10k.htm "The Travelers Companies, Inc. Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025") [34](https://www.travelers.com/about-travelers/value-of-an-agent "Benefit from the Personal Attention of a Travelers Independent Agent") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Application path described on contact, agent-locator, technology and 10-K sources. Automated small-commercial issuance is not evidence that a technology, D&O or cyber submission will quote or bind the same way.; verified: 2026-09-16.)

## What to Confirm in Quotes

Ask Travelers which operating company issues the technology policy and which agent handles it. Ask THREE whether its product fits your technology operations and what the sample terms mean for your state. Ask each provider to identify the proposed insurer, exact forms and endorsements, any intermediary or account service contact, and the steps required to bind. Compare premiums only after matching limits, retentions, exclusions, policy periods, taxes and fees.

## Compare Services

What each provider documents about the services you may need.
