Compensation and Disclaimer
As your fully independent Commercial Insurance Broker and Risk Advisor (this means 100% employee-owned, private, Canadian, and with no insurance company or private equity firm ownership), we procure competitive quotes in the commercial insurance marketplace and purchase these products and services on your behalf.
Our role is to provide you with the best insurance value that combines coverage, service, and price. We also provide personalized, quality service that includes professional insurance advice, ongoing policy maintenance and claims support. When any issue arises regarding your insurance coverage, we are your advocate, using our professional experience to best represent your individual interest.
Brokerage compensation is part of your insurance premium. For your benefit, we have listed below the Insurers that we represent and have included the range of compensation each provides as a percentage of your overall premium that appears on your invoice.
In order for us to maintain strong relationships with quality insurers, we work with each to provide the type of business they desire. Some of our insurance company partners recognize our efforts through a Contingent (Profit) Commission contract. Payment of this Contingent (Profit) Commission may depend on a combination of growth, profitability, volume, retention and increased services that we provide on behalf of the insurer. Contingent (Profit) Commission is not guaranteed. For detailed information on Contingent Commission, please go to the individual company’s website.
As a licensed insurance brokerage in Ontario, we must declare to our customers if we have any other financial links that could be considered a conflict of interest. We can proudly confirm that we are fully independent and that:
- We do not have any direct or indirect ownership interest by an insurer or financial conglomerate
- We do not have a loan, credit facility or other financial relationship direct or indirect with any insurer or financial conglomerate
Our disclosure commitments are made in the best interest of consumers. We encourage you to also consult the commitments made by the insurance industry and individual companies by consulting their websites or other available information.
