Where an individual wishes to act as an agency without forming a partnership or corporation a sole-proprietor’s licence may be issued. A sole-proprietor must:

• meet the same licensing requirements as an individual;



• register with the B.C. Corporate Registry as outlined under the CORPORATE LICENCE REQUIREMENTS;



• meet the Agency Name requirements as outlined under the CORPORATE LICENCE REQUIREMENTS; and



• meet the nominee requirements as outlined under the corporate licence requirements, or if the sole-proprietor does not meet the requirements for a nominee, then a nominee must be licensed under the proprietorship. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE ON NOMINEE REQUIREMENTS.

A sole-proprietor licence is subject to the same standard licence conditions as both an individual and a corporate licence. Applicants use the licence application package for individual insurance applicants.
