Understanding Business Insurance in Alberta
You know you need small business insurance, but where do you start? We’ve answered some common questions from Alberta entrepreneurs.
Insurance protects you and your business from risks and unexpected events. For example, a product you create may injure or harm one of your customers. Your equipment or vehicles may get damaged or stolen. Or, a cybersecurity breach could expose and steal your customers’ data.
All of these incidents can be extremely expensive or prevent your company from running. Small business insurance covers these liabilities and helps you pay for costs that arise from damages or legal proceedings.
Small business insurance can be very affordable with the right plan. The annual cost depends on what coverage your company needs.
These factors have the highest influence on the cost of your business insurance:
- Your policy coverages
- Business size and revenue
- Building size and location
- Claims history
Every small business needs insurance. If you own property or employ staff, it’s legally required in Alberta. Beyond the basic requirements, small business insurance protects you against a variety of liabilities that arise when running a company. You receive financial coverage from the costs that come from any unexpected events or incidents.
No matter how big or small your business is, it’s smart to have an insurance plan designed to cover your unique situation. Our experts can build a package that works for your industry and budget, so contact us today to get started.
Your coverage depends on the type of small business insurance that you have.
A common kind of business insurance is property insurance, which protects buildings, furniture, files, and other physical assets from damage and theft. You also may choose errors and omissions insurance to shield you from lawsuits that could arise if you make a mistake at work. Product liability insurance protects you if a customer gets injured using your products.
Our advisors will work with you to determine which insurance coverage is needed to protect the long-term health of your business. Reach out to us now to build your plan.
Insurance policy exclusions are specific situations or events that your plan does not cover. These exclusions vary depending on the type of coverage, but often include intentional acts, illegal activities, and certain natural disasters. Understanding these exclusions is crucial to ensuring you have the right coverage for your business’ needs.
Yes, it’s essential to review your business insurance coverage on a regular basis. As your business evolves, so do its risks and liabilities. Regular reviews keep your insurance aligned with your current operations and industry standards. This prevents gaps in coverage and potentially saves you from unforeseen financial losses.

FAQs: SMALL BUSINESS INSURANCE ALBERTA
The minimum business insurance required in Alberta varies by industry and business type. However, general liability insurance is often considered a foundational coverage. It’s smart to consult with an insurance professional to determine the specific requirements for your business to comply with Alberta regulations.
Business insurance protects you from lawsuits by covering legal expenses, court costs, and settlements or judgments that may arise from third-party claims. This can include bodily injury, property damage, or advertising injury claims. Having the right coverage can shield your business’s financial stability and reputation in the event of legal challenges.
Yes, you can bundle different types of business insurance policies. Bundling can often save you money and can simplify managing your plan. You can combine coverages such as general liability, property insurance, and business interruption insurance into a comprehensive package tailored to your specific business needs.
While liability insurance for sole proprietorships is not mandatory, we do highly recommend it. Liability insurance protects you personally from business-related lawsuits, covering legal costs and potential damages. It provides a crucial layer of financial security, separating your personal assets from your business liabilities, and can be essential in protecting the future of your sole proprietorship.
