Do you really need insurance?

In a word – yes. Every small business needs insurance. The truth is that one small loss could derail everything you’ve worked so hard to build. Whether it’s property damage from a flood, fire or vandalism, or an expensive lawsuit resulting from a bodily injury liability claim by a third party, the right insurance coverage can help get you back to business fast—and keep your costs low to protect your bottom line.

Small business insurance options made for the needs of Canadian entrepreneurs.

We understand small businesses, and we have the coverage options to prove it. Here are just a few of the coverage options available to you to keep your business safe.

Commercial
general liability

Are you worried about customer injuries?

Did you know that if someone slips and falls at your home-based business you could face a costly lawsuit? Every business should have a comprehensive liability policy to protect them from potential losses associated with liability lawsuits. Commercial general liability (CGL) coverage helps to keep costs low if you face a liability claim for bodily injuries or property damage to a third party.

Commercial
property

Are you worried about damage to your property, tools or equipment?

No matter what kind of building you operate your business out of, it’s important to make sure that the building and everything inside are protected in the event of a loss. Commercial property insurance can help with repair or replacement costs caused by theft or damage to your building, equipment, inventory, furniture or electronics.

Professional
liability

Are you worried about expensive lawsuits?

Even the smallest error can result in a major loss. If a mistake in your work leads to a financial loss for your client, you could find yourself tangled up in an expensive and time-consuming lawsuit. Professional liability insurance can help mitigate the costs associated with unexpected lawsuits that may arise as a result of an error or omission in your work.

Cyber risk &
data breach

Are you worried about data breaches or cyber hacks?

Cyber attacks on small businesses are on the rise. Do you have proper security measures in place? Do you know what to do if you suffer a data breach? If your business stores sensitive information such as credit card details, email addresses or other employee or customer data, then you’re at risk for cyber attacks. Our cyber risk and data breach coverage can help cover some of the costs associated with data breaches and hacks.
