## How it works

- **Send what you can download.** Share policies, certificates and claims records from Newfront. Your Spot team files them with your other documents so nothing is tied to one account.
- **We check the program against your contracts.** Your Spot team compares limits and endorsements with what your lenders, customers and investors ask for.
- **Compare brokers together.** Your Spot team takes your submission to the brokers you pick and helps you read proposals on terms, including specialty wording.
- **Move each policy on a safe date.** Your Spot team helps you choose a letter or a renewal handover, and policies stay in force until the new broker confirms.

Newfront is a specialist business brokerage for companies from early stage to enterprise, with industry teams and policy tools it calls Navigator. It places lines from property and casualty to executive risk, cyber and employee benefits. Its public buying path starts with a consultation request rather than an instant quote.

## Why businesses consider switching

- **You want a specialist for one slice.** Executive risk, life sciences and fund-related coverage sometimes go to a broker focused on them, with the rest staying put.
- **You want a different level of advice.** Some buyers want a broker who negotiates each line directly, others a tool-led service. Needs change as a company grows.
- **Your retained risk changed.** A company that begins to fund some of its own risk may want a broker experienced in those structures.
- **You want to compare compensation.** Brokers set out fees and commissions in different ways, and buyers often ask for more than one version.

## How to switch without a gap

- **Check the engagement agreement.** Find the term, the notice and the entity that signed. Note which policies are in the agreement.
- **Export your records.** Save policy documents, certificates, claims history and any billing records before you rely on a new system.
- **Time the handover.** A letter hands servicing over at once, while waiting hands it over at renewal. For executive risk and specialty wording, ask the new broker about continuity of prior acts.
- **Confirm in writing and tell your counterparties.** Keep policies active until the new broker confirms. Then reissue certificates and update the vendor and landlord contacts that have yours on file.

## Common questions

### My program is large. Can Spot still help me change brokers?

Yes. Size doesn’t stop Spot helping with a broker change. Your Spot team puts your policies, contracts and renewal dates into one view so a new broker can quote the whole program.

### Can I move only my executive-risk policies?

Often, yes. Some businesses move executive risk, such as D&O and EPL, to a specialist and leave other lines in place. Your Spot team checks what that means for each policy’s servicing.

### Is Spot affiliated with Newfront?

No. Spot isn’t affiliated with Newfront. We name Newfront only to identify who you’re leaving.

### Can I change brokers part-way through the year?

Usually, by broker of record letter, with each insurer choosing its own effective date. Your Spot team checks every policy before a letter goes out.

### Is Spot a replacement for my broker?

No. Spot takes no commissions on premiums and sits next to the broker you pick. That broker advises and places; Spot keeps the program and its paperwork together.
