Changing the way you think about insurance
If you read the vision, mission, and value statements for various companies, you’ll find they all sound the same. In fact, it’s tough to distinguish one company from another.
At Square One, everything we do is guided by three simple principles.
- Treat people the right way
- Take ownership and solve problems
- Be creative and take calculated risks

Square One opened on January 5, 2011. It was started by a team of experienced professionals who, after years of working in the insurance industry, recognized that traditional home insurance wasn’t meeting the needs of most consumers.
Most industries — from electronics, telecommunications, to banking — have evolved in the last 20 years. The home insurance industry, on the other hand, hasn’t changed since the 1970s. Without the burden of antiquated processes and systems, Square One developed an entirely new home insurance system designed to meet the needs of consumers today.
We also eliminated all unnecessary complexities built into traditional policies so that it would be both convenient and easy for people to personalize their policies. Policies are sold and serviced by phone and online from our head office in Vancouver, British Columbia. This helps keep overhead costs low, so then we can pass on the savings to our customers.
As mentioned earlier, Square One is a licensed insurance agency (or brokerage). Our company and employees hold licenses in each jurisdiction served. Square One is not a member of any insurance associations.
Sales and service support is provided from our head office in Vancouver, British Columbia. By keeping most functions centralized, we can keep costs low and pass on savings to you. We use local claims adjusters and vendors that are based in the communities they serve.
