Has your business changed since the pandemic? Business insurance protects you and your company in the event of a claim or lawsuit and it’s essential you have the coverage to protect what you’ve worked so hard to build. Please review these often-overlooked business insurance coverage options.
Commercial Auto/Fleet
Is your business now offering goods and services differently than pre-pandemic? Have your or your employees’ driving habits changed? We can help review your
company’s auto and fleet insurance to ensure you have the coverage you need.
Employment Practices Liability
Wrongful dismissal laws vary from province to province and it’s critical that businesses of all sizes be prepared and are protected in the event of a lawsuit.
In recent years, juries have been generous,
awarding enormous amounts to wrongfully terminated employees which could have a crippling impact on a business.
Cyber Insurance
If your company has an internet presence, collects information online or stores information in a computer system, then your business needs to be protected against hackers, viruses and data breaches.
Here are some startling statistics:
- Approximately 70% of Canadian businesses have been victims of a cyber-attack with an average cost of $15,000. [1]
- Police reported cybercrime in Canada leapt from just over 15,000 to nearly 24,000 in a two-year period. [2]
- In a recent survey, 17% of Canadian small and medium-sized enterprises reported that their business would halt practices immediately if they lost access to their digital files. [3]
Professional Liability
Even the smallest of business can have the potential for big risks. If you operate your business from your home, your house insurance policy may not cover all losses related to your business in the event of fire, theft or damage.
Additionally, if your business gives advice or provides a service, professional liability will provide you with peace of mind knowing you’re covered from the economic consequences of rendering or failing to render some professional service.
While these are only three examples of potentially overlooked business insurance options, to ensure your business is protected, it’s crucial to keep in regular contact with your insurance professional.
