Business Insurance for Markham Companies
For technology and professional services firms, the biggest risks are rarely a fire or a slip and fall. They are a client claiming your software failed, a data breach, a dispute with an investor or a former employee. Those risks need specialized coverage.
Markham is also home to many medical and dental clinics, restaurants and retailers. Whatever your business, we connect you with a broker who knows your industry.

What Markham businesses should plan for
Data and cyber risk
Technology and professional firms hold client data and connect to client systems. A breach can lead to notification costs, forensic investigation, business interruption and third party claims.
- Confirm multi factor authentication and backups before applying
- Check coverage for social engineering fraud
- Align cyber limits with client contracts
Contract and investor requirements
Enterprise clients often require technology E&O and cyber limits in master service agreements, and investors commonly expect D&O coverage for the board. Plan these before the contract or round closes.

Commercial Insurance in Markham: FAQs
What insurance does a tech startup in Markham need?
Most start with commercial general liability, technology errors and omissions, and cyber liability. D&O becomes important once you have outside investors or a board.
Is professional liability the same as technology E&O?
Technology E&O is a form of professional liability designed for software, IT and technology services. It often includes or pairs with cyber coverage.
Do clients really check my insurance?
Larger clients usually do. Master service agreements often set minimum E&O and cyber limits and ask for certificates before work begins.
Can you help Markham clinics and restaurants too?
Yes. We connect all types of Markham businesses with brokers who specialize in their industry.

5/5 rating on GoogleThe Commercial Insurance Difference: Feedback from those referred
Proactive Broker Relationship.
The most noticeable difference was the fact that I no longer felt that I was needed to manage the broker... the brokers came to me with proactive recommendations and knew when to push and shop the market and when not to. When the topic of business insurance comes up, I always refer fellow business owners.

Security Blanket For My Business
I was always the type of customer that never believed in insurance and only really got it because I had to. Then I connected with a broker through Commercial Insurance.ca and they asked me questions no one else ever did and that's how I knew something was different. They took the time to understand and evaluate the risks. Well, I ended up getting some extra coverage (legal expense) and thank goodness I did. Something fairly innocent turned into something quite nasty and I didn't have to do too much... my coverage took care of it. Now I look at Insurance as a security blanket for my business.

They had my back
No one likes buying insurance because it's a bit of a bet against yourself. You just hope that when the bad things happen that insurance will do what it said it would do in the first place. Their specialist stand behind the policy's that they bind. They never professed to get me the best price, but they did say they have my back, and have my back, they did.
