Contractor Insurance
Ensure your assets, equipment, tools, stock, sources of income and liability are protected.
Do You Need Contractor’s Insurance?
If you are a contractor working in a trade or performing contract-based work in Ontario, then contractor insurance coverage is strongly recommended for both residential and commercial work, and it may be required by some of your business partners.
This specific insurance covers a wide range of industries to protect you against financial loss, due to an accident or damages caused to clients or third parties. Additionally, many clients will request to see your insurance documentation prior to signing a contract for your services.

We’re A Different Type of Insurance Provider
HD Mutual is a mutual insurer, which means that we do things differently from the large, corporate insurers.
We are proud to be a 100% Canadian-owned company, owned solely by its policyholders, and backed by one of the world’s most financially secure insurance networks: 35 mutual companies, known as Ontario Mutuals, providing strength, stability, and expertise.
When you become a policyholder with Halwell Dumfries Mutual, you become a member owner of the company. This means:
- You have a voice.
When you purchase an insurance policy with us, you’re more than a policyholder. You become a member of our company and your vote counts when important decisions are being made. - You support your local community.
When you pay your premiums, the money goes towards employing your neighbours, supporting the local economy, and investing in local projects. - You are treated with respect.
