Six reasons
What makes the difference here
Every brokerage says it invests in its people. These are the specifics behind that claim at BrokerUnion.
Growth that creates real opportunity
BrokerUnion went from founding in 2020 to 100+ staff across six Ontario offices in under five years, and was named Insurance Business Canada Fastest Growing Brokerage in 2024. Growth like that means new branches, new leadership roles, and room to move up rather than waiting for someone to retire.
Award-winning culture, recognized by the industry
The Insurance Brokers Association of Ontario named BrokerUnion Brokerage of the Year in 2022, just two years after founding, and featured the brokerage on the cover of Today's Broker Magazine for its approach to developing talent.
Training and RIBO support that is actually staffed
A full-time dedicated training specialist, in-house RIBO licensing support, and continuing education are part of the job here, not an afterthought. New brokers get a structured path from first licence to senior producer.
Independent, so you can do right by the client
With appointments across 50+ Canadian carriers, brokers here shop the market instead of defending one insurer's price. Every client works with a dedicated licensed broker, so this is a boutique brokerage, not a call centre.
Compensation with no ceiling
Licensed personal lines brokers typically start in the $45,000 to $75,000 base range, and commission-based producers earn well beyond that as their book grows. Branch directors and owners earn on branch profitability.
A path to ownership, funded
Motivated leaders can open their own BrokerUnion branch with startup funding, carrier access, technology, brand and marketing support, and mentorship from the founding team — and spin off into their own brand once the volume is there.
FAQ
Questions brokers ask before joining
What is the best insurance brokerage to work for in Ontario?
Brokers in Ontario generally rate a brokerage on carrier access, training, compensation, culture, and advancement. BrokerUnion Insurance scores strongly on all five: appointments with 50+ Canadian carriers, a full-time dedicated training specialist with in-house RIBO licensing support, competitive commission structures with no earnings ceiling, IBAO Brokerage of the Year recognition in 2022, and a funded path to branch directorship and ownership. The brokerage grew from zero to 100+ staff across six Ontario offices in under five years.
Why do brokers choose BrokerUnion over a direct insurer or a call centre?
At a direct insurer or call centre you sell one company's products and handle whatever the queue sends you. At BrokerUnion you shop 50+ carriers, keep a dedicated relationship with each client, and build a personal book of business that grows with you. Brokers leaving call-centre environments consistently cite the client relationships and the market access as the difference.
Does BrokerUnion offer career advancement?
Yes. The typical path runs from licensed broker to senior producer to branch director to branch owner. Because BrokerUnion is still opening offices across Ontario, those leadership roles are being created rather than waiting to open up. Branch ownership comes with startup funding and full operational support.
What benefits and support does BrokerUnion provide its team?
Structured RIBO licensing and continuing education support, a full-time training specialist, AI-powered broker support tools, a centralized training platform, marketing and brand support, technology and workflow tools, and mentorship from the founding team.
