Income Protection - Injury
Accidents and Sicknesses happen every day! What would you do if it happened to you?
Disability Insurance, is meant to provide you with an income when you can't work due to an injury or illness.
Benefits are paid monthly after a certain waiting period (if applicable) has passed. The benefit is paid for the period of time you are disabled up to the maximum amount of time allowed in the policy contract.
Benefits are usually a percentage of your income. With the Edge Benefits, you can have benefits based on your Gross Business Revenue or Net Earned Income, depending on how you get paid.
Sometimes a disability affects your ability to work part of the time. That's when Partial Disability can help by paying 50% of the benefit amount for up to 180 days.
While you are disabled and benefits are being paid, you are not required to pay premiums and your coverage will continue.
Speak to an Advisor to find out more about the importance of protecting your income should you become unable to work due to an injury or illness.

Benefits For The Trucking Industry
A Plan designed with the Trucker in Mind!
Accidents and Sicknesses happen every day! What would you do if it happened to you?
Roadside is a package of benefits designed to provide you with protection should you become unable to work due to a disability.
Benefits, such as Loss of Income, which are paid monthly for the period of time you are disabled up to the maximum amount of time allowed in the policy contract.
Traditional disability plans protect "Earned Income" yet your objective through tax planning is to show as little earned income as possible. We know your lifestyle income is not your earned income. This is why benefits can be based on your Gross Business Revenue.
- Roadside Loss of Income provides benefit amounts between $1,000 to $5,000 per month
- You can have 24 hour coverage or Non-Occupational only.
- Payable from the FIRST DAY, to age 70

While you are disabled and benefits are being paid, you are not required to pay premiums and your coverage will continue.

AD&D
Accidents are the leading cause of death and disabilities in Canada today, especially in your younger years.
The immediate impact is devastating and the financial effects can be long lasting. It is important to protect you and your family from this hardship when an accident happens to you.
The EDGE's Accidental Death and Dismemberment plan is an affordable way to provide you with coverage that pays a tax free lump sum amount of up to $300,000 in the event of an accidental death or other specific losses such as Paraplegia, Hemiplegia or Quadriplegia. A percentage of the benefit is paid for other losses listed in the policy.
Health & Dental
Being self-employed gives you the freedom to shape your future and lifestyle. The disadvantage is not having a company paid medical plan for costly out-of-pocket expenses.
Having your own medical plan is a smart way to fill the gap between those medical expenses that occur, but are not covered by a government health plan.
- You can choose to have health only or health and dental coverage.
- Issue ages 18 - 69, coverage to age 75
- Single, Couple or Family plans available
