Infrastructure is available to bill a client's Canadian office so they avoid having to pay excise taxes in Canada, which may be up to 60% of the premium.

Provincial taxes and certificates of insurance handled by our licensed, local offices.

Exposures for Canadian clients in foreign countries, particularly the US.

These facilities allow your office to provide full service and protection to clients, no matter where the risk is located, as well as prevent competitors from writing portions of your accounts.
