Commercial insurance for manufacturers FAQs
How much does manufacturing business insurance in Canada 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).
How do I get a manufacturing business insurance quote?

What's covered on a manufacturing business Insurance policy?
In short, Manufacturing Insurance coverage includes property, equipment and liability. Contrary to popular belief, if your manufacturing plant is based out of Quebec or Ontario, you do not need workman’s compensation, as this is covered through the provincial government.
How should the cost of fire insurance for a manufacturing plant be classified?
The fire classification score is determined by the construction material of the building you rent or own. If your building is made from concrete, it takes longer to catch fire which in turn makes the property insurance cost less. If the building is made from wood frame, your premium will be more expensive.
