What Are the Key Differences Between Beazley and Corgi Representations and Warranties Insurance?

Published Capacity vs a 1–14 Day Specialty Quote

Beazley writes M&A insurance directly, covering warranty breaches, adverse tax consequences and contingent liabilities, with limits up to $50 million. Corgi lists R&W as a specialty coverage quoted in 1–14 days, outside the instant-quote flow it uses for general liability, D&O and tech E&O. Choose Beazley if your deal needs a known limit, tax or contingent-liability cover, or crosses borders; choose Corgi if you're a startup already insured with Corgi and want to ask about R&W alongside your other policies. [1] [3] [5]

Policy Detail vs One Sentence

Beazley covers sellers against a buyer's breach claim and gives buyers first-party protection, across all 50 US states and more than 80 jurisdictions. Corgi's description is one sentence: it protects buyers or sellers against financial loss from breached representations in a purchase agreement, with no published form, retention or limit. [1] [3]

How You Reach Underwriting

Beazley names its underwriters and invites you to "Speak with an Underwriter." Corgi's general disclosures say coverage may be written by affiliated or partner insurers depending on product and state, without saying which applies to R&W. [1] [3] [4]

What Should You Confirm in Beazley and Corgi Representations and Warranties Insurance Quotes?

  • Ask Beazley for the limit, retention and whether tax and contingent-liability cover are included. [1]
  • Ask Corgi which insurer issues its R&W policy and whether Corgi is writing or brokering it. [4]
  • Ask Corgi for limits, retention and due-diligence requirements. [5]
  • Ask both whether the policy is buy-side or sell-side. [1] [3]

Areas of coverage

Beazley

  • role: Beazley underwrites representations and warranties (M&A) insurance directly, describing solutions designed to reduce or extinguish the impact of liabilities arising from a merger or acquisition, including warranty breaches, adverse tax consequences and contingent liability claims. US Mergers & Acquisitions product page; scope covers the general insuring concept, not a specific policy form.company-reportedSource ↗
  • eligibility: Beazley says it offers this coverage to private equity clients, selling entrepreneurs, private shareholders, venture capital funds, listed companies and other corporate clients, with a broad appetite across different target sectors, deal types and transaction structures. Product-page target-customer list; individual deal acceptance still depends on underwriting.company-reportedSource ↗
  • eligibility: Beazley says it can underwrite and place M&A insurance, including cross-border deals, in all 50 US states and more than 80 jurisdictions globally. Company-stated geographic reach; not an independently verified regulator record of authorization in every jurisdiction listed.company-reportedSource ↗
  • coverage: Beazley describes coverage that can be provided to a seller to defend against a breach of representations or warranties claimed by a purchaser, or to a purchaser for first-party protection against innocent or fraudulent breaches by a seller. Product-page description of the insuring structure; actual policy wording, retentions and exclusions are set at binding.company-reportedSource ↗
  • coverage: Beyond representation and warranty breaches, Beazley says its M&A offering can also address adverse tax consequences and contingent liability claims arising from a transaction. Product-page "What we offer" summary; each element's availability depends on the specific transaction and underwriting.company-reportedSource ↗
  • limits: Beazley advertises M&A insurance limits of up to US $50,000,000. The page does not publish retentions, minimum limits or premium ranges. Product-page headline limit figure; actual capacity offered depends on the transaction.company-reportedSource ↗
  • services: Beazley says it can underwrite transactions globally and structure coverage around the specific details and timeframes of a transaction. Company-stated service description; no turnaround-time commitment or staffing detail is published.company-reportedSource ↗
  • application: The reviewed page does not list a self-service quote form or application document for M&A insurance; it instead names underwriters and product leaders by region and links to "Speak with an Underwriter" and "Become a Beazley Broker" contact routes. Checked the full product page, including its Tools & Resources equivalent area, on 2026-09-23; no application form was found there, unlike the Crime and Fidelity page.not-foundSource ↗
  • claims: Beazley's own example describes a case where its insured was sued by a third party over intellectual property and lost, the third party then counterclaimed against the acquired target, and Beazley paid the claim and it was settled with the third party, despite some question over whether the claim was fully covered. A single company-selected scenario on the product page; it is not a claims-handling statistic or a guarantee of similar outcomes.company-reportedSource ↗

Corgi

  • role: Corgi lists Representations and Warranties insurance as a specialty coverage quoted with a 1-14 day turnaround, not through its instant online quote flow used for CGL, D&O, Tech E&O, and its other core policies. Homepage and startup-insurance page policy-card labeling as of 2026-09-23. No dedicated product page was found; direct URL guesses (/representations-and-warranties, /representations-warranties) returned 404s.company-reportedSource ↗Source ↗
  • coverage: Corgi describes the product as protecting buyers or sellers in M&A transactions against financial loss arising from breaches of representations and warranties in a purchase agreement.

  • eligibility: Corgi targets this product at businesses on either side of an M&A transaction (buyer or seller), which is a narrower, transaction-triggered audience than its startup-lifecycle packages built around CGL, D&O, Tech E&O, and Cyber. Catalog description; no deal-size, industry, or state restrictions are published for this line.company-reportedSource ↗Source ↗
  • insurer: No page names the carrier that issues Representations and Warranties coverage.

  • limits: No limit, retention, or illustrative policy structure is published for Representations and Warranties, unlike Corgi's Tech E&O and Umbrella pages, which show example limits. Reviewed pages as of 2026-09-23; limits would appear on an actual quote.not-disclosedSource ↗Source ↗
  • application: Representations and Warranties sits outside Corgi's instant-quote flow; the site groups it with policies quoted in 1-14 days rather than through the self-serve online application used for its core coverages.
