Ontario Retail & Small Business Insurance

Retail stores, boutiques, and small businesses in Ontario face a wide range of risks, including property damage, liability claims, employee injuries, and business interruptions. Comprehensive insurance protects your business, staff, and customers while giving you peace of mind to focus on growth and customer satisfaction.


Essential Coverage for Retail & Small Businesses

Retail and small business owners typically require a combination of coverage types to mitigate risks:

  • General Liability Insurance: Protects against third-party bodily injury or property damage that may occur on your premises.
  • Property Insurance: Covers buildings, inventory, equipment, and furnishings from fire, theft, vandalism, or natural disasters.
  • Business Interruption Insurance: Compensates for lost income if your business temporarily cannot operate due to a covered event.
  • Product Liability Insurance: Protects against claims arising from defective or harmful products you sell.
  • Cyber Liability Insurance: Safeguards your business from online threats, data breaches, and e-commerce risks.
  • Workers’ Compensation & Occupational Health: Ensures employee safety and compliance with Ontario regulations.
  • Commercial Vehicle Insurance: Protects business vehicles used for deliveries or service calls.

For small businesses with multiple locations or online sales, cross-border coverage ensures consistent protection for liability, inventory, and digital operations.
