HUB International (Cannabis)

HUB International Limited lists its headquarters at 150 N Riverside Plaza in Chicago. Its about page says the firm began in 1998 when 11 Canadian brokerages combined, and it now reports more than 700 offices across North America and more than 1.5 million clients. It is a retail broker: the cannabis team works for the buyer and places coverage with specialty carriers rather than issuing policies itself. The cannabis page does not name a practice leader or say how many people work on the team.

The cannabis practice covers cultivators, processors, distributors and dispensaries across every license type, both in legal US states and among Canadian licensed producers. Its page lists program design for specialty general liability and commercial property; crop, cultivation and product testing risk; crime, cash and security exposures for retail and cultivation; product liability for infused products and packaging compliance; business interruption tied to license loss and regulatory compliance; and coordination of programs that span the US-Canada border. HUB notes that most standard commercial carriers exclude cannabis and that cannabis crops have no federal multiple peril crop insurance to fall back on, which shapes how it builds crop coverage.

Buyers reach the practice through HUB's broker contact form. HUB does not publish pricing. The page features a testimonial from a managing partner at Skytree Capital Partners about covering the cannabis companies the firm finances, a 2019 case study on liability coverage for a private equity firm's cannabis holdings, and articles on cannabis 401(k) plans, hemp insurance for tribal farmers and transportation risk. The page frames the service around license type and supply-chain stage rather than listing states or provinces served.
