Chicago Weather Brokerage (CWB) is the leading provider of solutions to help stave off the financial consequences of a poor winter. Geared toward the North American snow removal market, CWB enables professional snow fighters to focus on their core business.

Previously, when it pertained to weather exposure, only extremely large financial institutions were able to structure transactions to protect their businesses. Costly insurance products were also available but focused rather on catastrophe protection.

Through our brokerage network of active financial participants, CWB clients now have access to a cost-effective, exchange traded product. You are now only one phone call away from transferring your weather risk out of your business.

Industries such as agriculture, energy, and finance (banks, mortgage companies and investment firms) have been transferring their risk to the financial industry for years. Now, CWB can help the snow removal industry achieve a similar level of risk management opportunities.

CWB is the source for obtaining access to a risk management tool that helps to protect snow contractors against not only low-snow fall winter totals, but record years, as well. Likewise, it becomes a powerful marketing tool, allowing contractors who understand this product early on to apply it to their customers’ businesses, too. With extensive protection levels available on a monthly and/or seasonal basis, each contractor, property manager or industry supplier can establish positions that best represents risk levels in their given geographic region(s).

CWB supports its clients in normalizing their earnings stream, predictability of revenue and profitability.
