Commercial insurance for manufacturers FAQs
How much does manufacturing business insurance in Montreal cost?
The annual cost of your manufacturing insurance depends on a few factors, including:
- Business annual revenue
- Claims history
- Construction material of the building
- The type of product you manufacture
If you’re a metal shop, you can expect to pay low premiums on property. If you make plastic products, the property insurance will be more expensive as the risk for fire is higher.
How do I lower my manufacturing business insurance cost?
The best way to lower your manufacturing commercial insurance cost is to avoid making small claims, keep your premises tidy and to shop your insurance every few years to see what the market has to offer. Another great way to save money is to get the right certification, like ISO (International Organization for Standardization).
