Ontario Wholesale & Distribution Insurance

Wholesale and distribution businesses in Ontario handle high volumes of inventory, manage logistics, and interact with numerous clients and suppliers. This exposes them to risks such as property damage, liability claims, supply chain interruptions, and cargo loss. Comprehensive insurance ensures your operations, assets, and workforce are protected while maintaining business continuity.


Key Coverage for Wholesale & Distribution Businesses

Businesses in this sector typically require a combination of coverage types to protect against common risks:

  • General Liability Insurance: Covers third-party bodily injury or property damage occurring on your premises or due to your operations.
  • Property & Inventory Insurance: Protects warehouses, stock, and equipment from fire, theft, or natural disasters.
  • Business Interruption Insurance: Compensates for lost income due to a covered disruption in operations.
  • Commercial Auto & Cargo Insurance: Covers vehicles used for delivery and protects goods in transit.
  • Product Liability Insurance: Protects against claims arising from defective or damaged products sold or distributed.
  • Workers’ Compensation & Occupational Health: Ensures employee safety and compliance with Ontario workplace regulations.

For companies involved in cross-provincial or international shipping, cross-border coverage ensures consistent protection for products, transportation, and liability.
