Types of insurance

What types of business insurance do you offer?

We mainly offer these business insurance coverages:

  • Property and liability insurance to help protect your property against fire, theft and water damage, and to protect your business in case a claim is brought against you following property damage or bodily injury to another person.
  • Commercial vehicle insurance to help protect the vehicles used for your business activities.

We also have optional coverages that may be of interest, depending on your type of business. For example:

  • Professional liability insurance in case a claim is brought against your business following an error, omission or negligent act.
  • Cyber risk insurance to help protect your business from the consequences of cyberattacks, data theft and more.

Why should I get insurance for my business?

Business insurance protects you from the unexpected—whether that's the financial consequences of a loss or lawsuit brought against you.

Even the smallest business needs to protect its equipment and merchandise from fire, water damage and other disasters. And professional liability insurance helps protect your company in case of a lawsuit.

Renewal and cancellation

How often should I review my business insurance coverage?

You should update your coverage whenever there are significant changes to your business or operations. Here are some questions to consider:

  • Have you purchased new equipment? Has the value of your property gone up?
  • Have your business activities changed? Do you offer any new services, like online orders or delivery?
  • Has your revenue gone up or down?
  • Has your business moved or did you open another branch?
  • Have you updated your computer systems?
  • Is your expected cost to rebuild still realistic?
  • Has there been a change in the use of your commercial vehicles?

Depending on what's changed, your insurance premium may increase or decrease.
