Helpful professional service.

John W

We received great service from Lisa. To think that we did not use HWC's service earlier after having been in Port Stanley for 20 years, we are beside ourselves. Thank you so much, Lisa. Will highly recommend your service to others!

I called and spoke to Charlie about insuring my motor home from out of province. Charlie answered all my questions with a pleasant demeanor and a smile on his face that I heard in his voice. In person, he was wonderful to interact with. Charlie went above and beyond to help me on his last day before vacation. That's it folks, Charlie is my insurance broker for life! Thank you, Charlie, very grateful.

Marianne P

Excellent customer service!

FAQs.

I need a certificate of insurance and my broker is asking for an agreement. Should I provide the agreement to the broker?

Yes. The agreement will describe the work that is to be done. By providing this, your broker will be able to confirm if your policy will cover this work. If not, your broker can advise you accordingly. As well, the agreement will specify what insurance coverages are needed in order for you to fulfill your end of the contract.

What is Tenants Legal Liability?

It is a coverage under the liability section of your commercial general liability policy that provides coverage for loss or damage caused to the rented property.

Why do I need to keep inventory of my tools and equipment?

We recommend keeping an up to date inventory list of your tools and equipment so that if a loss should occur, you'll be able to provide your claims adjuster with the exact information of what was lost.

I’m a Hairstylist, does my Commercial General Liability policy cover me as a professional?

No! You will need professional liability coverage to respond if a loss should occur while working in your profession.

Do I need cyber coverage for my business?

Yes! Any business who stores client data of any sort should have cyber coverage in place
