How can we help?

Who is Federated Insurance?

We’ve been around since 1920, proudly serving Canadians with innovative and affordable insurance protection. And while a lot has changed over the years, we’ve always stayed true to our belief that knowing your business matters. We take the time to get to know what your business does inside and out to ensure we’re protecting you from any and all of the risks you may be facing. We give you the time, dedication, and attention you deserve because we’re committed to building long-term relationships with the businesses we protect.

Our insurance solutions.

When your business has strong insurance coverage, it has financial protection in the event of a loss. With a dedicated agent and risk management team there to help you, you’re able to focus on what matters most: running your business.

Here are just a few of the insurance coverages that can help protect your business:

No matter what industry you’re in, your business could be vulnerable to cyber attacks. Cyber risk insurance helps support your business if devices or documents are lost or stolen, or if computer networks are breached.
Commercial general liability insurance is an important coverage for all types of businesses to consider. It’s designed to protect businesses against costly lawsuits if they’re found legally liable for bodily injury or property damage to a third party.
It takes a long time to build and maintain a strong business—why would you want to risk all of that hard work? Commercial property insurance will protect your business’ structure and everything inside it, such as tools, equipment, and inventory.
There are some key differences between personal and commercial auto insurance to consider, because without the proper coverage, your business may be vulnerable to an expensive claim. And as your business grows, so should your insurance coverage. If your business is protected by our Vehicle Fleet Insurance and acquires new vehicles, they’re automatically covered by a blanket fleet endorsement (even if you forget to tell us about them until your renewal!)
What would you do if damage from an unexpected flood or fire forced you to cease operations for two to three months? Could your bank account handle the loss of income? Business interruption insurance will pay for your loss of net income, and continue to pay normal operating expenses if an insured loss suspends your operations.
This coverage will help mitigate the loss of money or securities due to employee dishonesty, robbery, burglary, and hold-ups. Comprehensive crime coverage can protect you both at and away from your business premises.

Why do business owners buy from us?

We give you a personalized experience you just can’t find with other insurance companies. With Federated Insurance, you’ll have a dedicated Commercial Insurance Specialist to guide you through the entire journey.

Here are just a few benefits of going direct with Federated Insurance.

Industry-trained specialists: Our Commercial Insurance Specialists take the time to understand your business now, and in the future. As your business grows and evolves, your Commercial Insurance Specialist will work with you to make sure your insurance coverage keeps up the changes.

Direct access to expert underwriters: In some agencies, the sale comes first and the policy comes second. At Federated Insurance, our expert underwriters work side-by-side with our Commercial Insurance Specialists to make sure they understand the details and risks of your business before they create your coverage program. That way, you’re properly protected.

A single solution and a streamlined claims process: Sometimes, depending on the complexities of your business, insurance companies will divvy up your coverage amongst a few different providers to ensure all your needs are met. If you ever suffer a claim, this can get messy due to multiple deductibles and different procedures, both of which result in longer timelines. We keep everything under one roof. Your dedicated Commercial Insurance Specialist will ensure you receive a customized program that meets all of your needs with one company.

The personal touch: Big companies often mean call centres, multiple points of contact, and various forms of communication. With Federated Insurance, you have one dedicated specialist to guide you through all of your insurance needs. We’ll call, email, or drop by in person depending on what you prefer. We’ll also take care of all the paperwork so you can focus on what you do best — running your business.

We’re more than just insurance coverage: We’re not just your insurance provider; we’re your trusted advisors and business partners. By choosing to partner with Federated Insurance, you gain direct access to our Risk Services team. This team of experts has decades of experience combating risks for all business types, and can provide mitigation and loss prevention strategies to help keep your business safe.
