Who MGT is
MGT is an insurance company, not an agency. It calls itself an "AI-native neo-insurer" for small commercial property and casualty. It has two insurers:
- MGT Insurance Company, its main carrier. It was formerly CM Select Insurance Company, bought from Church Mutual Holding Company. CM Select was formed in 2017 to serve small religious and nonprofit groups.
- MGT Specialty Insurance Company, an excess and surplus (E&S) carrier launched in January 2025.
Co-CEOs Michael Topol and Graham Topol founded MGT under MGT Partners. They announced the CM Select purchase in October 2023. MGT Insurance Company is based in Greenwood Village, Colorado. Later releases are datelined San Francisco.
MGT's AM Best rating
In March 2025, AM Best assigned an A- (Excellent) rating to MGT Specialty. It affirmed A- (Excellent) for MGT Insurance Company. Both outlooks were stable. That's as reported by Insurance Business in September 2026. We didn't see the AM Best release itself.
Because MGT is the insurer, its own company name should appear on your policy. Check whether it's MGT Insurance Company or MGT Specialty.
An A- rating from AM Best is in its "Excellent" category. The rating applies to each insurer separately. So check the one for the company on your policy, and look for the most recent affirmation date.

What it means that MGT is the insurer
An MGA sells and services policies on another company's paper. MGT is different. It owns its own insurance companies.
That means MGT makes the underwriting decisions and carries the risk on its own paper. Your policy will name MGT Insurance Company or MGT Specialty Insurance Company. You don't need to search for a separate carrier name.
MGT's history also explains its structure. Its main carrier came from buying CM Select from Church Mutual. It then added MGT Specialty for excess and surplus (E&S) risks. The E&S company lets it write some businesses that don't fit an admitted policy.
What to check before you buy MGT
- Which MGT company. MGT Insurance Company is admitted. MGT Specialty writes E&S. Know which one issues your policy.
- Eligibility. The BOP fits businesses up to $3 million revenue and 100 employees. Confirm your class is one of the eligible ones.
- Add-ons. If you need professional liability or EPLI, make sure it's actually on the policy.
- Your state. Sources differ on the count, so confirm availability where you operate.
- Accuracy. AI-assisted quoting is fast. Review every answer on your application.

How to verify an insurer or agency
Before buying through any website or app, confirm who is selling you the policy and who will issue it:
- Find the licensed agency or insurer named in the site's footer, terms, or license page.
- Look up the agency or producer on your state insurance department's license search, or through the National Insurance Producer Registry (NIPR).
- Look up the insurer on your state insurance department's company search to confirm it is authorized in your state.
- Save the insurer's name and policy number once issued, since that is who handles claims.
A legitimate service will make this information easy to find. Be cautious if you cannot identify the licensed entity.
What an independent agency does
An independent insurance agency is licensed to sell policies from several insurance companies. Instead of quoting one company's products, an independent agent can compare options from the insurers the agency represents, explain the differences in coverage, and help you re-shop at renewal. The insurance company, not the agent, makes underwriting and claim decisions.
Blake Insurance Group is an independent agency. We work with clients by phone, email, and online in states where we are licensed, and we will tell you which insurers we can quote for your situation.
Questions to ask before you buy
- Which insurer issues the policy, and is it licensed in my state?
- What are the limits and deductibles, and what’s excluded?
- Which discounts were applied, and which ones weren’t?
- How do I report a claim, and is there a 24-hour line?
- What happens if I miss a payment, and is there a grace period?
- Can I get the full quote, including all fees, in writing before I pay?
