Business insurance coverage we help arrange

Every business carries a different mix of risk. A commercial insurance policy is built from coverages, so the goal is choosing the right ones and the right limits, not buying a generic package.

General liability

Helps protect your business if you are held responsible for injury or property damage to others.

Commercial property

Covers buildings, equipment, inventory and improvements against named perils, subject to your policy terms.

Commercial auto

Coverage for vehicles used in your business, from a single work truck to a larger fleet.

Business interruption

Can help replace lost income and cover ongoing costs after a covered loss shuts you down.

Contractor insurance

Liability, tools and equipment coverage designed around trades and construction work.

Customized packages

Bundled or standalone policies shaped around your operations, contracts and budget.

Professional liability

Errors and omissions coverage for claims that your advice, design or service work caused a client a financial loss.

Cyber liability

Helps with costs after a data breach, ransomware attack or fraud event, including response, notification and recovery, subject to policy terms.

Commercial liability insurance in Alberta

Liability claims often come from ordinary work: a customer slips at your premises, a job site incident damages a neighbour’s property, or a client disputes the quality of your service. Commercial liability insurance is designed to respond to claims like these, up to the limits you choose.

Clients, landlords and general contractors often ask for proof of liability coverage before signing. We can help you work out the limits that make sense and request certificates of insurance when a contract requires one.

What we review with you

Built for Alberta conditions

Hail, wildfire smoke and fire exposure, long freezing winters and burst pipes, and theft at remote or unattended sites are all real planning points for Alberta property owners. Which of these a policy responds to depends on its wording, so we walk through perils, deductibles and exclusions before you commit.

Commercial property and business interruption coverage

Commercial property insurance protects the physical side of your business: the building you own or the improvements you have made to one you lease, plus equipment, stock and tools. Business interruption insurance addresses the financial side, helping with lost revenue and fixed costs while you recover from a covered loss.

Commercial auto and commercial vehicle insurance

Albertans drive long distances for work, and a vehicle used for business is rated differently from a personal one. We help you arrange coverage for the vehicles you actually use and the way you use them.

Work trucks and vans

Service vehicles, delivery vans and pickups used on the job.

Fleets

Multiple vehicles and drivers under one organized program.

Hauling and trailers

Trailers, equipment hauling and cargo considerations for your operation.

Using a personal vehicle for work? Personal auto policies can limit or exclude business use. Ask a broker to confirm before a claim, not after.

Contractor insurance in Alberta

Contractors and trades carry risk at every site: tools that get stolen, work that damages someone else’s property, and subcontractors whose coverage may not be what you assume. We help you line up general liability, tools and equipment coverage and vehicle insurance so they work together.

Electricians, plumbers, roofers, general contractors, landscapers and renovation companies each face different exposures, so we start with the work you do, not a template.

Questions we ask contractors

Commercial risk management, not just a policy

The best claim is the one that never happens, and the second best is the one that is covered properly. When we review your business, we look at where a loss would hurt most and whether your current commercial insurance coverage matches that picture.

Commercial insurance in Alberta: frequently asked questions

Straight answers to common questions from business owners.

How much does commercial insurance cost in Alberta?

Cost depends on your industry, revenue, location, claims history, coverage limits, deductibles and vehicles or equipment. A broker can give a realistic range once they understand your operations.

Is business insurance required in Alberta?

Vehicles must carry auto insurance, and some businesses must register with WCB-Alberta separately. Other coverage is often not legally required but may be demanded by landlords, lenders or clients.

What is the difference between commercial and general liability insurance?

General liability is one coverage within a commercial insurance program. It addresses injury and property damage claims from third parties, while a broader commercial policy can also include property, interruption and other coverages.

Does commercial property insurance cover hail, fire or frozen pipes?

It depends on the policy wording, perils covered, exclusions and deductibles. Ask your broker to confirm how a policy responds to hail, fire, water damage and freezing before you buy.

What is business interruption insurance?

It can help cover lost income and ongoing expenses when a covered loss, such as a fire, forces your business to pause or slow operations. Coverage terms and waiting periods vary by policy.

Can I use my personal vehicle for business?

Personal auto policies may limit or exclude business use. If you use a vehicle for work beyond commuting, ask a broker whether commercial vehicle coverage is needed.

What do I need to get a commercial insurance quote?

Have your business description, address, revenue estimate, employee count, vehicle details, equipment values and any contract insurance requirements ready. Your broker will tell you if anything else is needed.
