Over 60,000 Canadians trust The EDGE because we have been putting policyholders’ needs first for over 40 years and have proudly compensated customers with over $200 million in the last 10 years alone.

We’re on a mission. To help our customers attain financial security.

The EDGE was founded on the belief that everyone should be able to get insurance, and a one-size-fits-all model doesn’t align with what the majority of working Canadians need. While other companies have focused on insuring large corporations, The EDGE specializes in protecting the distinct risks of Canada’s self-employed and small business markets. That’s why we design, distribute and administer a unique suite of income protection, special risk and health & dental plans from leading Canadian insurers.

Where other plans fall short, The EDGE steps up with affordable, customizable benefits designed specifically for the under-served small business market. We streamlined traditional qualification processes and offer guaranteed issue coverage with most products so our customers receive the financial protection they need.

We are committed to making the insurance process as painless and transparent as possible, educating our customers along the way to find the products best suited for their needs.
