BUSINESS PROPERTY COVERAGE

Property Coverage, whether you rent, own or lease your office space -- covers your building, contents, stock, tools and equipment. Let us walk you through which coverage best suits your needs.

BUSINESS AUTO COVERAGE

It is not uncommon for businesses to try and use their own personal vehicles and personal auto insurance for their business needs. But, in the event of an accident, most personal insurance policies will not cover you for all aspects of your daily use. You could get caught not being insured without even knowing it. Our experienced Business Brokers will examine your auto use and find the best policy to protect your auto use. Business Auto Coverage protects you while you make deliveries, haul, tow, visit clients, or pick up your stock with your vehicle.

PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY (ERRORS & OMISSIONS)

If your business opens you or your employees to be sued due to the advice or professional services supplied, then you need the right Professional Liability Insurance to protect yourself against claims related to your delivery of professional services.

Your Commercial General Liability coverage will not protect you in the case there has been an error or an omission by your business while performing its services to your customers.

GROUP BENEFIT PLANS (HEALTH AND DENTAL)

Often referred to as fixed benefits, this coverage picks up where OHIP benefits end and your place of employment does not offer or that is not adequate enough for your family needs. Group Benefit packages usually cover a co-pay portion of medical and dental costs, typically offering up to 80% cost coverage where you pay the final 20% of the prescription, dental or other services like chiropractic or physiotherapy. Be aware these plans publish the annual amount of coverage included in the plan and there are several different packages available and everyone has different needs. Contact us for more details about health and dental plans.

HEALTH SPENDING ACCOUNT (CUSTOM GROUP BENEFITS)

Healthy and happy employees always show up for work. Yet Group Benefits Plans can fall seriously short of addressing the unique situation or family needs of the business Founders. A Health Spending Account is a hybrid version of Group Benefits Plans and conforms to CRA tax laws as a legitimate business expense. We suggest you contact us to learn more about the advantages HSA can offer business owners and their employees.


CYBER INSURANCE

Most Business Insurance plans either exclude cyber events or offers a built in cyber coverage that amounts to nothing more than a toll-free help line if you have had a cyber event. Storing sensitive data on a computer that a hacker could use, requires serious consideration to purchase Cyber Insurance to protect your company data.

Examples of third and first party coverage on stand alone Cyber Insurance Policies protect the following consequences from a breach:

  • Notifying customers their information has been compromised and legal expenses to determine notification requirements
  • Purchasing a credit monitoring service for affected customers
  • Starting a public relations campaign to manage your company’s public image
  • Business interruption coverage to offset the cost of the lost income due to a covered loss
