Security company insurance starts with the work your guards actually perform. Concierge services, mobile patrols, event security and loss prevention create different exposures. A policy described only as general business insurance may not address allegations arising from detention, use of force or a failure to protect property.

A practical comparison guide
Prepare a breakdown of duties, client industries and locations. Identify subcontracted guards, patrol vehicles, dogs, weapons and work at licensed premises or large events. Explain supervision, training, incident reporting and how contracts allocate responsibility. Do not leave a higher-risk assignment out because it represents a small share of revenue.
Review general liability alongside allegations of professional negligence, wrongful detention and other security-specific exposures. Ask how exclusions apply to assault, intentional acts and the conduct of employees. A client's required limit does not establish that the wording covers your services. Motor vehicles, employee dishonesty and cyber incidents need separate discussion.
Use current documents. If a detail is uncertain, identify it for the provider instead of guessing.
No. Licensing and underwriting are separate processes. Ontario's agency application process asks for a general liability insurance certificate when directed; the insurer must still accept the actual security operations. Check the current provincial requirements and your contracts rather than relying on a generic certificate.
Terms depend on the facts supplied, the requested protection and the provider’s assessment. Compare the full annual cost, limits, deductibles and conditions. An illustration or general guide is not a personal quote or confirmation of coverage.
Insurance Genie helps you prepare an insurance enquiry. A participating licensed professional must confirm availability and the terms of any proposal. For legal or contractual obligations, obtain advice from the appropriate qualified adviser.

Be prepared
Hypothetical situations to help you prepare questions—not actual client claims or promises of coverage.
Scenario: Someone alleges an injury arose from the business operations.
What happens next: Preserve incident records and notify the insurer. Declared activities, liability wording and the facts determine whether a policy responds.
Scenario: Equipment used by the business is damaged or stolen.
What happens next: Document ownership, location and cause. Ask the insurer to review the insured property, exclusions, valuation and deductible.
Scenario: Damage prevents the business from operating normally.
What happens next: Keep revenue and expense records. Business interruption depends on the insured trigger, selected coverage and applicable terms.
Actual outcomes depend on the facts and applicable wording. Read claims guidance · Ask about the next step
