Affiliate Relationships
Red Helm Insurance administers an affiliate program that compensates users who refer clients and potential client to us. This affiliate program may compensate those who market our services in a variety of ways depending on their licensing status.
Affiliate Program
Our Influencer Affiliate Program is available to anyone demonstrating a high degree trustworthiness, and influence on or offline. The platform administers relationships by which the referring parties earn flat rate commission for every visitor that they refer to our website who fills out a “quote request” form with the intention of shopping for personal insurance. Influencer affiliates do not participate in the sales process beyond referrals and Red Helm Insurance, does not share any policy or client information with them. Referrers and affiliate information is always disclosed as such when the user completes the “quote request” form on our website. This information would be found above the “quote request” form if there is a referring party.
Affiliate Broker Program
Our Affiliate Broker platform is available to entities and persons who hold valid licenses to sell life, health, or travel insurance within Canada. This platform administers relationships by which the referring professionals participate to the activities of any parties referred to us by earning a portion of the commission generated by personal insurance products sold to the referred parties. Referrals and affiliate information is always disclosed as such when the user completes the “quote request” form on our website. This information would be found above the “quote request” form if there is a referring party. The following information pertaining to policies sold may be shared with referring affiliate brokers upon demand; policy number, annual premium, insurance company used.
Distribution Relationships
We process our insurance related business independently and submit it directly to insurance companies with whom we have distribution contract and through Managing General Agencies (MGA). Insurance companies either pay us directly, or partner Managing General Agencies (MGA) which will pay us, a bonus on commissions earned for the sale of insurance products. Any bonuses constitute a portion of the overall compensation that we are paid in conjunction with commissions referenced above. In addition, we have full discretion to deal with any insurer with whom we trade, and we are not subject to any pressure from our Managing General Agency (MGA) partners to favour one or the other insurer.

Compensation – Monetary and Non-Monetary
Upon completion of an insurance transaction, we will be paid a sales commission by the company that provides the product you purchase which is generally based on a percentage of the premiums. We may receive a renewal (or service) commission if you keep that policy in force. We may be eligible for additional compensation, such as bonuses or non-monetary benefits, such as travel incentives, conferences, and seminars, depending on various factors such as volume of our sales or persistency of business that we place with a company during a given period. Should your contract be cancelled within a certain period, we may be subject to chargebacks for a portion, or all commissions earned.
