Click on one of the below topics to unpack your Business Insurance:

Commercial Liability

If you find yourself in a situation where your products, services, employees, or incidents on your premises or at a customer’s location result in bodily injuries or property damage, liability coverage can provide the necessary financial support. It is important to note that even one seemingly baseless lawsuit can harm your reputation and finances. Safeguard your business by having a Commercial General Liability (CGL) in place.

Tools & Equipment

You can get coverage for repairing or replacing your tools if they are damaged by fire, smoke or lightning; vandalism or malicious acts; windstorm or hail; or stolen from your job site, garage or truck.

The tools you use to perform your daily tasks are vital and form the foundation of your business operations. Unlike in many other industries, these tools are constantly on the move, which exposes them to a higher level of risk.

Pollution Liability

While not all construction projects have a significant ecological footprint, the responsibility for environmental harm is on the rise.

Pollution liability insurance provides coverage for any bodily injuries or property damage sustained by third parties, as well as expenses related to clean-up efforts, civil penalties, and emergency response. This type of insurance ensures that potential liabilities are addressed and mitigated effectively.

Vehicle Insurance

The appropriate Commercial Auto Insurance plan can protect you, your vehicle, and the transported items. As part of your work, you likely have vehicles specifically used for commercial purposes.

Commercial auto policies safeguard any vehicle for transporting people, tools, equipment, and materials.

Contractor's Rework

The Contractor’s Rework extension protects expenses for rectifying substandard workmanship or materials. It also covers the additional costs of restoring the project to its original condition. How can this coverage benefit you? Suppose a contractor is hired to replace the old piping in a basement, but unfortunately, the materials used do not meet industry standards. As a result, the contractor has to remove and reinstall pipes that meets specifications.

Disability Insurance

Disability coverage replaces some of your income if you can’t work because of an injury or illness. Up to 40% of Canadians become disabled for 90 days or longer before age 65. Disability insurance can help you meet your financial obligations as the benefit can replace most of your take-home pay. It allows you to avoid dipping into your retirement savings.
