When we compare premiums for the purposes of offering a specific quote, the comparison is made on the basis of gross premium cost to the client.

We contract with those insurers whom we believe offer a range of products and services appropriate to the needs of our clients and who deliver those products effectively and efficiently.

In order to maintain strong relationships with quality insurers, we work with each to provide the type of business that fits their capabilities. The insurers noted above with an asterisk (*) recognize our efforts through contingent profit-sharing plans. Payments to us from such plans depend on some combination of growth, profitability, volume and retention in a given year or years. Profit-sharing is not guaranteed. Information on this subject particular to each insurer is available on the individual company websites (access by going to the Links section of this website).

Mills Insurance Brokers Limited currently has a loan from Aviva Insurance Company of Canada that was used to support the succession planning of the brokerage and expand our business. 

We are owned by this brokerage’s principal.
