Private Lender Insurance
Lending operations involve underwriting decisions, documentation and handling funds.
Prepare your private lender insurance enquiry around the work you actually perform, the property you rely on and your customer agreements.
Start my business enquiry →No obligation to buy. A licensed provider confirms terms and availability.
Start with your private lender operations
Advice, transactions and handling client information create exposures that differ from ordinary premises liability. Explain the services you are authorized to provide.
A question to put to your broker
Are lending and servicing activities expressly accepted?
Prepare for your private lender quote
Your business records
Bring your legal business name, operating locations, revenue split, employee and subcontractor details, current policy and claims history. Identify changes planned during the coming year.
Bring professional qualifications, service agreements, client types, revenue by activity and details of access to funds or sensitive records.
Coverage questions to compare
Review professional liability, cyber and crime questions separately. Investment, lending, audit and insurance intermediary activities should be expressly described.
Use the guides below to prepare questions, rather than assuming every section is required or included. A package name alone does not establish what is insured.

- Cyber liability insurance canada →
- Commercial crime employee dishonesty →
Keep proposals comparable
Use the same declared activities, locations and values. Compare limits, deductibles, exclusions, defence costs where relevant and the full policy term. Highlight contractual insurance requirements before you accept a proposal.
Discuss my coverage needs →Claims scenario: private lender
Hypothetical scenario
A borrower alleges an error in loan administration.
Preserve the relevant agreement, photographs and incident records, and notify the insurer according to the policy instructions. Ask how the declared private lender activities, cause of loss and applicable exclusions affect the review.
Actual outcomes depend on the facts and wording. This example is not a promise that a claim will be paid.
Questions before you request private lender insurance
What can change the cost of my proposal?
The activity details, scale, locations, claims history and selected terms affect an individual review. For private lender, start with these details: loan types, authorities and servicing arrangements. A published example is not your quote.
What if I add another service?
Tell the provider before relying on cover for the new activity. Describe how it changes the operation and ask whether an endorsement or separate policy is needed.
Are lending and servicing activities expressly accepted?
Send the exact activity description and relevant contract to the licensed professional. Ask for the applicable policy sections and exclusions to be explained, and obtain confirmation of accepted activities and effective dates.
