4) Please tell us about your company's unique strengths.
It offers flexibility, works with many insurance companies, and therefore has competitive coverage and premiums.
There are property and casualty insurance programs that can only be handled by major insurance brokerage groups.
It is the only Japanese insurance broker that holds operating licenses in British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario.
5) What initiatives are you undertaking to "connect Japan and Canada"?
Because we have dealings with Japan's three major non-life insurance companies, we can request continued underwriting from a Japanese insurance company.
In Ontario, there are insurance companies that offer discounts on car insurance premiums based on a clean driving record in Japan.
6) Please let us know if you have any campaigns or promotions that you run throughout the year.
British Columbia is running a campaign on Deductible Reimbursement Insurance.
Deductible waiver insurance covers the deductible amount for personal home insurance and auto insurance.
For example, if your home insurance has a deductible of $500, plus your car insurance (for one vehicle) also has a deductible of $500, we will cover this deductible for a monthly premium of $9.00.
If you pay a deductible of $500 in the event of a car accident, we will compensate you for the refund of the deductible of $500.
Deductibles can be set at various levels, such as $1000 or $2500. By increasing the deductible, you can save on home and car insurance premiums, and then use those savings to cover the deductible, which could be advantageous overall. This effect is likely to be particularly significant for those with high insurance premiums, such as single-family homes and luxury cars.
