Six Nunavut commercial insurance guides

WSCC

Workplace coverage is not CGL

WSCC administers employer assessments and no-fault workplace coverage. Commercial General Liability remains a separate private policy for covered third-party claims.

PROPERTY + INTERRUPTION

Replacement and downtime need separate limits

A physical-damage estimate does not measure lost profit, continuing expenses or the extra cost of keeping operations running during a remote recovery.

Property and interruption guide →

Registration and licensing are separate from insurance

Government of Nunavut says a business name must be registered within 60 days of first use, and businesses within a municipal boundary apply to the relevant hamlet or municipality for a business licence. Neither process creates insurance coverage.
