Can I add my corporate name to my certificate? |
 |
|
In most situations, your corporate name can be added to your individual certificate; however, this is an individual policy and, as such, coverage will only extend to a corporation if you, the individual insured, trigger the claim. |
 |
5. |
I sell Mutual Funds, do I qualify? |
 |
|
This coverage is available to those who sell mutual funds; however, if you receive more than 50% of your income and/or $250,000 from mutual funds, you're ineligible for this coverage. |
 |
6. |
I'm licensed in several provinces. Can I obtain the mandatory endorsements? |
 |
|
The provinces in which you do business will determine the endorsements added to your policy. Where required, higher aggregate limits, reporting periods and other coverages will be automatically provided as per provincial requirements. |
 |
7. |
I had a previous claim. Do I qualify for coverage? |
 |
|
We strongly recommend individuals with previous claims stay with their current carrier.
If you've had previous claims, we're unable to find coverage. We'll forward your application to the insurer for their review and they'll determine whether you are eligible.
Previous claims are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. If coverage is issued, a surcharge may apply if there are prior claims.
