Been a customer for almost 35 years now (Guess that alone ages me!!)Never a problem with any of the staff really. The odd thing is missed or is incorrect. However, they are quick to fix anything you need.My regular agent went off on maternity if my memory serves me correctly, and lately, I have been working with James. He has gone above and beyond and is relatively quick at resolving inconsistencies.We would and have recommended Ostic to others.Take care everyone at Ostic!R. LOWE

Our family has been dealing with OSTIC insurance for nearly 35 years. When we had the misfortune of experiencing a car accident a number of years ago, our agent Lisa, was exceptionally courteous, helpful, knowledgeable, and prompt in dealing with our many questions and eventual car replacement. If Lisa doesn’t have a “quick answer” to any of our questions, she is very thorough in her investigation, and usually responds within 24 hours! Hats off to Lisa, and the other wonderful staff, at OSTIC insurance in Guelph.

I recently purchased my first car and needed insurance. My friend referred me to The Ostic Group and I am so happy they did. Jessica Dewey was so helpful and went out of her way to get insurance for me, even offering to stay late on a Friday to get the paperwork filled out! Being a first time car owner, I didn't know where to start or what was the best plan for me. Jessica was very informative and made me feel very comfortable throughout the application process. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Insurance

Why Should I Get Commercial Insurance For My Organization?

Commercial insurance is often legally required and protects your business from major financial losses. Whether you own property, have a mortgage, work with the public, or sell products/services—coverage can protect you, your assets, and your team.

What Does Commercial Insurance Cover For An Organization?

Commercial insurance is designed to safeguard businesses and organizations from a wide range of financial risks. A well-structured policy typically provides coverage in several key areas:

Property Damage or Loss
This includes protection for physical assets such as buildings, equipment, and inventory against risks like fire, theft, vandalism, or natural disasters.

Business Interruption
If your business operations are disrupted due to an insured event (such as a fire or flood), this coverage helps recover lost income and may cover ongoing expenses while you get back on track.

Crime-Related Losses
Protection is available for financial losses stemming from criminal activities, such as theft, fraud, or vandalism affecting your organization’s property or assets.

Liability Claims
If your business is held legally responsible for property damage, bodily injury, or even death due to its services, products, or operations, liability coverage helps pay for legal costs, settlements, or judgments.

Commercial insurance can be adapted to fit the unique needs of different types of organizations—whether you’re running a business, managing a non-profit, or operating a municipal service. It helps protect not only your assets and physical property but also your reputation and long-term operational stability.

What Commercial Insurance Products Do You Offer?

At the Ostic Group, we offer three main types of commercial insurance products. For each product, there are a number of different policies, discounts, and coverage options available, depending on the specific needs of your organization:

  • Commercial Auto Insurance — This product provides coverage for commercial vehicles in Ontario, offering specific options for motor vehicles, passenger vehicles used for delivery, and trailers used with commercial vehicles.
  • Commercial Property & Liability Insurance — This product provides coverage for commercial properties and their contents, as well as general liability coverage for the business. It can protect against crime, accidents on your property, or issues resulting from your products, services, or daily operation.
  • Farm Insurance — This product offers coverage for commercial farms, with programs designed for farms with a range of livestock and crops. This type of insurance will also cover farm property, such as dwellings, outbuildings, equipment, machinery, and more.
