Our proven process begins with an in-depth initial discovery discussion where we learn the exact scope of your janitorial operations. We carefully review your current policy to identify early coverage gaps, such as missing pollution liability for toxic cleaning chemicals or inadequate tools and equipment floaters for your mobile floor buffers. By deeply understanding your specific risks, we tailor customized solutions that perfectly align with your commercial contracts and business size.

Next, we leverage our large network of industry colleagues to conduct a multi-carrier market search. We strategically approach top-tier providers like Aviva Canada, Intact Insurance, and Wawanesa to shop for the most robust coverages. Once we gather the strongest options, we provide a transparent side-by-side quote comparison, clearly outlining the prices, liability limits, and specific risks associated with each policy type so you can make a fully informed decision.

Finally, we handle the seamless policy finalization and ensure continuous updates on your insurance status throughout the year. Our commitment does not end once the policy is bound; we conduct mandatory reviews at every renewal to account for any business changes, new equipment purchases, or expanded service territories. If you ever face a sudden liability claim, we step in immediately, using our specialized CIP and CAIB credentials to advocate fiercely for you with the claims adjusters.

    I had a wonderful experience getting my insurance done from them. Gurtaj and Michael went out of their way to help me as my previous insurance brokers got my mom’s insurance messed up. I am glad that I went to them. I highly recommend them if you want any kind of insurance without any hassle.
