Choosing the Right
Insurance
Choice is important to all consumers. We know you have
many options when it comes to buying insurance. However, if
you want independent, unbiased, uninfluenced, personalized advice,
there is only one choice. And that choice is an independent
insurance broker.
Financial News
These articles are provided by our sister company, CAPCORP. They are one of Canada's leading
independent financial services companies. Their clients
include both large national organizations and the individual
investor.
A "Guaranteed"
Option
When it comes to life insurance you may be inclined to avoid the
"bells and whistles" that are available on your policy, believing
they are simply being up-sold. But the benefits of some riders
deserve serious consideration, as they can save you a great deal of
aggravation down the road. Helping You Better Understand Life
and Health Insurance
Local Business
Owners Pretty Happy
Around 84 per cent of small-business owners in Ottawa are
happier owning and running their own business than being an
employee, according to numbers released by the TD Small Business
Happiness Index last week. Overall happiness ranked at 27 per cent,
placing owners in the city at the third-happiest in Canada -- just
behind Calgary (30 per cent) and Montreal (29 per cent).
Focus on Real
Estate
The annual rate of housing starts across the country slipped to
189,200 last month, a 1.6% decline from the June rate, says
Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. The agency
blamed the decline on a decrease in urban single starts and a
reduction in rural starts, but that the drop was partially offset
by multiple starts.
