Understanding British Columbia’s Small Business Landscape
British Columbia’s economy is driven by diverse industries such as construction, technology, tourism, film and television production, and green energy. Small businesses are pivotal in these sectors, creating a significant demand for customized and affordable group benefits plans.
While Wescan Insurance Brokers has already established a strong presence in technology, tourism, and green energy, there are emerging opportunities in sectors like construction, healthcare, and professional services.

Why Choose Wescan Insurance Brokers for Your Small Business Group Benefits?
Wescan Insurance Brokers stands out from the competition by providing flexible and cost-stable group benefits solutions tailored to British Columbia’s small business needs. Our core values for offering the best small business group benefits include:
Customized Group Benefits Plans
We understand that each business is unique. Unlike generic small business group benefits packages, our advisors work closely with business owners to tailor coverage based on:
✔ Employee needs and group demographics
✔ Budget and benefit dollar allocation
✔ Occupation
✔ Annual Earnings (Base Salary, Commissions, Bonuses & Dividends)
✔ Industry-specific risks
Predictable Renewal Premiums
One of the main challenges for small businesses is managing fluctuating benefits costs at renewal time. We analyze historical claims data and industry trends to offer stable renewal rates. By being proactive, we provide our clients with claims experience reports on a semi-annual or quarterly basis (depending on the group size), allowing them to make timely adjustments to their plan design, not just at renewal time when it might be too late.
Data-Driven Advisory for Smarter Decision-Making
We go beyond basic group benefits plans by offering:
✔ Personalized recommendations based on claims history and industry benchmarks
✔ Risk mitigation strategies to reduce long-term costs
✔ Access to expert insights on cost-saving measures and employee wellness initiatives
By reinforcing these core benefits, Wescan Insurance Broker empowers British Columbia businesses to offer competitive group benefits packages that support employee well-being without compromising your budget. 
As BC’s small business sector grows, so does the need for affordable, stable, and customized group benefits solutions. Wescan Insurance Broker is here to help businesses navigate the complexities of group benefits while maintaining cost efficiency.

Employees can Get Coverage at a Lower Cost than most Personal Plans.
This is because group plans pool together the risk across many individuals, allowing insurance providers to offer lower premiums. Additionally, administrative costs are spread over a larger group, further reducing expenses for each member. As a result, employees can access the same level of coverage at a cheaper rate than purchasing individual insurance policies.
Help Protect Your Employees and Their Families Health
Financial security is essential for employees’ peace of mind and overall well-being. By providing robust benefits plans, employers can help alleviate financial stress related to unexpected medical expenses or retirement savings. This support enables employees to focus on their work, knowing they have a safety net in place for themselves and their families.
Help Reduce Financial Stress if Something Happens
Employer-sponsored health plans often offer more extensive coverage options and networks compared to individual plans. They can also provide tax advantages for both employers and employees, making them a cost-effective solution. Additionally, these plans often include wellness programs that promote healthier lifestyles, contributing to a more productive and engaged workforce.
