🍁 Seasonal Businesses in Canada: Is Your Insurance as Flexible as Your Schedule? 🇨🇦
From summer boat rentals to winter lodges, seasonal businesses play an important role in Canada’s economy. But their insurance needs aren’t constant—they rise and fall with the seasons.
📆 The Challenge: Fluctuating Risk Exposure
- A snowmobile tour company may need higher liability coverage in winter, but minimal protection in summer.
- A lakeside cabin rental may require full coverage during peak months—but not when closed in the off-season.
- Landscaping and construction firms often scale up staff and equipment only during certain months.
⚠️ Common Pitfalls for Seasonal Operators
- Overpaying for unused coverage in the off-season.
- Being underinsured during high-risk, high-revenue periods.
- Forgetting to reinstate coverage before reopening.
- Failing to adjust limits as staffing or equipment needs change.
✅ What You Can Do
- Work with a broker who understands seasonal business cycles.
- Explore adjustable policies that reflect your actual operating period.
- Ensure coverage includes equipment theft, liability, business interruption, and property risks.
- Conduct annual reviews before each busy season begins.
🛡️ Final Thought
Seasonal doesn’t mean simple. Make sure your insurance evolves with your business—not just the weather.
