Areas of coverage

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. Corgi's general disclosures say coverage may be underwritten by affiliated carriers, including Technology Risk Retention Group, or by third-party partner carriers depending on product, jurisdiction, and risk profile, without identifying which applies to this line.

  • services: The reviewed pages do not describe due-diligence support, deal-team access, or other transaction-specific services tied to this line. Homepage and startup-insurance page as read on 2026-09-23.not-foundSource ↗Source ↗

Coverdash

  • role: Coverdash arranges representations and warranties insurance quotes from its panel of insurers rather than underwriting the policy itself, as one of three products (alongside tax liability and contingent liability) on its transactional risk page.

Does not identify which insurer would actually issue a given quote.company-reportedSource ↗

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

A 1–14 Day Specialty Quote vs Panel Shopping With Related Deal Cover

Corgi lists R&W among specialized coverages quoted in 1 to 14 days, separate from the instant online path it uses for general liability, D&O and tech E&O. Coverdash doesn’t underwrite; it gets R&W quotes from its insurer panel as one of three transactional-risk products, alongside tax liability and contingent liability. Choose Coverdash if you want several insurers compared or need tax or contingent-liability cover on the same deal; Corgi fits if you already buy its startup policies and can wait up to two weeks.

Escrow and Recovery Explained vs a One-Line Description

Coverdash says buyers or sellers can buy R&W, that buy-side policies are more common because the buyer recovers directly from the insurer, and that R&W can reduce or replace escrow and indemnity holdbacks, freeing up sale proceeds. Corgi’s single sentence says R&W protects buyers or sellers from losses caused by breaches in a purchase agreement, and it describes no deal-team or due-diligence support. [6] [3] [5]

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

  • Get the insurer’s name from both; neither names one for this line. [4] [6]
  • Ask both whether the quote is buy-side or sell-side and how it affects escrow. [6] [3]
  • Check Corgi’s 1–14 day window against your closing date. [3]
  • Get limits, retentions and premiums from both; neither publishes them. Ask Coverdash whether tax or contingent-liability cover is quoted alongside. [6] [5]

Corgi lists R&W as a specialty product quoted in 1 to 14 days, not through its instant online path. Coverdash shops R&W across its insurer panel alongside tax and contingent-liability cover, and says buy-side policies can reduce or replace escrow holdbacks.
