# Moving your insurance program from Baldwin? Compare brokers with Spot

Baldwin’s Insurance Advisory Solutions covers commercial risk and employee benefits, so your Spot team separates those programs and compares brokers for each.

- Commercial and benefits programs separated
- Servicing agency identified in your documents
- Dates for each policy in one view

## How it works

- **Tell us which Baldwin agency serves you.** Baldwin describes several related companies, so send your broker agreement and policies. Your Spot team notes the agency, insurer and renewal date for each.
- **Split commercial insurance from benefits.** We list general liability, workers’ compensation, property, cyber, directors and officers, bonds and umbrella apart from health benefits, since they may not move together.
- **Compare brokers.** Spot works with brokers rather than replacing them. We help you compare candidates on markets, sector knowledge and how they service accounts and claims.
- **Move each program on its own timeline.** Your Spot team helps you plan broker of record letters or renewal handovers so commercial lines and benefits each stay in force.

Baldwin’s Insurance Advisory Solutions provides commercial risk management and employee benefits for businesses, as well as private-risk management for high-net-worth individuals and their families. It describes a five-step process it calls RiskMap, and an online intake. The agency and insurer vary by placement, so your own documents name them.

## Why businesses consider switching

- **You want benefits and insurance with different brokers.** Some companies prefer a specialist for each program.
- **Your risks became more specific.** Surety bonds, umbrella or directors and officers needs can call for a broker with deeper experience in them.
- **Your leadership changed.** A new finance or operations lead may want to review who services the program.
- **You want a clearer view of compensation.** Brokers may be paid by commissions, fees or both, and some buyers like to compare.

## How to switch without a gap

- **Read the agreement and compensation terms.** Look at what your agreement says about term, notice and fees. Baldwin’s disclosures mention commissions, negotiated fees and contingent commissions.
- **Decide what moves.** Choose whether to move commercial insurance, benefits or both.
- **Appoint the new broker.** Use a broker of record letter for an earlier change or wait for renewal. Insurers confirm which policies transfer.
- **Keep everything bound.** Never end a policy until the new broker confirms servicing in writing. Then reissue certificates and update the contact on each lease and contract.

## Common questions

### Which Baldwin agency services my policy?

The agency differs by account, and the group describes several related companies. Your policy documents and broker agreement name yours, and your Spot team records it before you talk to anyone new.

### Does my employee benefits program move with my insurance?

It doesn’t have to. Benefits and commercial insurance can sit with different brokers, so decide that first, and your Spot team keeps the dates for each in one view.

### Is Spot related to The Baldwin Group?

No. Spot isn’t affiliated with Baldwin, and we describe it only from public information.

### Can I leave partway through the policy year?

Often you can change broker with a letter, though insurers set timing and your agreement may require notice. Your Spot team checks both before you decide.

### Do I stop using my broker to work with Spot?

No. Spot works with brokers, takes no commission on premiums and helps you decide whether to keep yours.
