Commercial Property Insurance

Whether you operate a small, mid-size or complex business, you’ll want to protect your property and physical assets against potential lawsuits. It’s important to ensure you have the proper insurance coverage in place, customized to suit your specific business needs.

Typically when you think of commercial property insurance you visualize large buildings. However, it’s often the smallest pieces of commercial property that are the most important to your business. Computers, files, furniture and product inventory are often the key components, that’s why a commercial property insurance policy will help you recover the loss of any important property, both large and small. You will be protected for the replacement cost of all of your essential property and you can customize so you can easily control your insurance costs.

It’s important to understand and review your current coverage levels, there’s always an opportunity to reduce your costs and expand your coverage! Give us a call or click for a quote!

Customized Protection

Did You Know?

It’s Not About You!

Every year, hundreds of Canadian businesses close their doors following a claim that interrupts their operations. Statistics show that over 40% of businesses that sustain a major loss cannot recover over the long term. In these cases, the affected business will be shut down within three years. Should claims happen, it’s best to have experts on your side.

Small businesses continue to bear a disproportionate share of the national burden of regulatory compliance. Data reveals that the real cost of regulatory compliance is about $4.76 billion. This equates to an average of $3,500 per business and $370 per employee.

Each year, absenteeism costs the Canadian economy more than $16 billion. High employee absenteeism can harm your organization. Let us help you engage and educate your employees on health, wellness and safety with customizable plans and resources, and numerous safety and awareness materials.

Testimonials

Chuck S.

President

“In 2001 my yard was vandalized. Marg went above and beyond what most brokers would do to convince my insurer to stick with me when I needed them most. I will always be thankful for her concern and ingenuity.”

Irving W.

CEO

“First Durham saved us thousands of dollars, time and aggravation when they secured superior options for our commercial insurance. Later, our coverage was put to the test when we experienced our first property damage claim at our U.S. location. First Durham was there every step of the way.”
