Begin Insurance started our journey in 2019 from the merger of two digital brokerages, IDEA Insurance and BTI Direct Insurance.
Both IDEA Insurance and BTI Direct Insurance believed in combining the best aspects of a traditional brokerage with the best aspects of an online platform. The result: Clients get the expert advice and personal touch from licensed brokers, as well as the efficiency and choice from a digital brokerage. And in 2019, the two joined forces to further enhance these advantages.

Factors
What Factors Affect the Cost of Business Insurance?
The cost of business insurance in Canada or business insurance in Ontario isn’t one-size-fits-all. It depends on several factors unique to your business.
Understanding these can help you manage your business insurance rate effectively.
- Industry type: High-risk sectors like construction or manufacturing generally pay more than low-risk industries like consulting.
- Business size and revenue: Larger businesses or those with higher annual revenue may face higher premiums due to increased liability.
- Location: Businesses in urban centres or high-traffic areas in Ontario may pay more due to greater exposure to risks.
- Coverage amount and type: The more comprehensive your coverage (property, liability, cyber, etc.), the higher the insurance cost.
- Number of employees: More staff often means greater exposure to liability, affecting your business insurance rate.
- Claims history: A clean claims record can help lower premiums, while frequent claims may increase your rates.
- Business assets and equipment: The value of your physical assets, equipment, and inventory can impact property insurance rates.
At Begin Insurance, we tailor solutions based on your needs, offering personalized guidance and competitive quotes for business insurance in Ontario.
