10 REASONS TO USE A COMMERCIAL INSURANCE BROKER IN EDMONTON

If there’s one thing we love most about our day to day at Cornerstone Insurance, it’s working in a city as great as Edmonton. The whole team gets fired up about whatever is going on in Edmonton, whether it’s an upcoming Oilers game, the newest pub or restaurant opening up downtown, or the kindness of strangers helping each other out. 

A lot of Edmonton businesses come to us with commercial insurance quotes that came directly from insurance companies. And that’s great – we’ll always support shopping around because that’s exactly what we do for our clients. But the difference between the insurers and us is that we’re local, and that comes with a lot of benefits.

SUPPORTING LOCAL BUSINESSES IS WHAT EDMONTONIANS DO (AND WHAT WE DO).

We love supporting local businesses in Edmonton, regardless of whether or not they’re our clients. It could be a shoutout on social media, a stop in for coffee or a snack, or referring our clients to other local businesses. Staying local whenever possible is just what feels right to us. We have a partnership with Oilersnation and offer insurance discounts to Citizens of the Nation. We also love to share our sponsorships, partnerships, connections, and events. 

WE UNDERSTAND THE LANDSCAPE OF BUSINESS IN EDMONTON.

We’re Edmontonians too, which makes us (pretty much) your neighbours. We have a history here, which means we know what the greatest risks are for your business and how to perfectly match you with policies that balance protection with smart budgeting.

YOU CAN WALK INTO THE OFFICE, GO FOR LUNCH, OR PLAY A ROUND OF GOLF WITH US.

If there’s one thing we know about Edmonton, it’s that business done here is not about transactions; it’s about building relationships. It’s a fairly small city, which means nearly everyone knows each other. And like you, we like to keep a good balance between getting work done and having a good time. That means we always have time for business chats over coffee, a good meal shared between good people, or a morning tee-off to cap off a great week. 

WE’RE LICENSED, PROFESSIONAL INSURANCE EXPERTS.

Just because we like to have fun and keep the daily grind from feeling like it’s grinding us down, it doesn’t mean we don’t have times when we really get down to business. Our team works well together because we all have the same level of dedication to our clients. That dedication includes the highest level of training and education possible so we can always help you through any step in your business.

WE MIGHT NOT BE A BIG COMPANY, BUT IT DOESN’T MEAN WE CAN’T MOVE LIKE ONE.

There’s a fine balance between getting the best possible options and service and working with people you like and trust. Luckily, you don’t have to walk that line with Cornerstone Insurance. We work with some of the most reputable and competitive commercial insurance companies in Canada to bring you a wide selection of options. We also have convenient services like the Cornerstone Connect app (although you can always talk to a person instead if you’d prefer that!)

WE AREN’T GOING TO “SELL” YOU INSURANCE – WE’RE GOING TO GIVE YOU ALL THE INFORMATION YOU NEED TO MAKE A DECISION.

Sales pitches aren’t really our style. When you call us to get a quote, we’ll shop around and get back to you right away with the best fit (and a few options, if that’s possible). We can also help you look over your current policy and spot any gaps, which sometimes pop up as a company grows. We even have specialty commercial insurance for certain industries.

WE’VE BEEN AROUND FOR 65 YEARS, AND WE’RE LOOKING FORWARD TO 65 MORE.

We’re proud of the history we’ve built here because we worked hard for it. Although there have been many changes in the insurance industry, the growth of the business, and in our clients’ needs, some things have stayed the same. Our founder is still at the helm, and our values are still homegrown in Edmonton.

WE WANT TO GET TO KNOW YOU.

It goes without saying that when you’re working with a local insurance broker in Edmonton, you’re a person, not a number. At least, that’s how we think it should be! Our team is small but mighty, which means you don’t have to call and talk to a stranger who doesn’t know anything about you or your business. Which leads to our final point…

WE’RE NOT JUST HERE TO SIGN PAPERS; WE’RE GOING TO HELP YOU MANAGE RISK SO YOU CAN BE MORE SUCCESSFUL IN BUSINESS.

It’s in our tagline: “solid protection, sound advice.” We know how important both of those promises are for our clients. If you have questions, we’re here to answer them. We’ll always do our best to help you avoid the incidents that can hurt your business, while backing it up with solid protection for those rare events you can’t guard against. 

LET’S DO BUSINESS TOGETHER

Our commercial insurance brokers are always happy to grab coffee, lunch, or a round of golf. Get in touch with us if you’re interested in talking business in Edmonton or if you have questions about a future or existing insurance policy.
