Start with what matters to you

Your next decision.
A clearer direction.

We handcraft customized solutions tailored to each client. Which priority would you bring to our first conversation?

Your starting point: Protect my monthly income

Let’s talk about it

Understand your options

Good questions. Thoughtful answers.

How would I cover expenses without my income?

Start with essential monthly costs and the reserves or benefits already available to you. This helps identify the income gap that coverage may need to address.

The right choice depends on your income, family, and goals. We’ll look at your whole picture, not just one account.

You don’t have to figure it out alone.

Before we meet

A few things
you may be wondering.

What is Disability Insurance and why do I need it in Ontario and British Columbia?

Disability Insurance replaces a portion of your income if you become unable to work due to illness or injury. For professionals and incorporated business owners in Ontario and British Columbia, it is the most critical protection you can have — your ability to earn an income is your most valuable asset, and no other insurance replaces it if you cannot work.

What is own-occupation disability insurance?

Own-occupation disability insurance pays benefits if you are unable to perform the specific duties of your own occupation — even if you can work in another capacity. The definition of disability matters for professionals and business owners in Ontario and British Columbia. Benefits are subject to the policy’s terms, definitions, and exclusions.

How much disability insurance coverage do I need?

Most disability insurance policies cover up to 60–70% of your pre-disability income. The right amount depends on your monthly expenses, existing coverage, corporate structure, and financial goals. Athena Financial conducts a thorough needs analysis to ensure you are neither underinsured nor overpaying in premiums.

Can I get disability insurance through my corporation?

Yes. Incorporated professionals in Ontario and British Columbia can access corporate-owned disability insurance options, including Business Overhead Expense (BOE) insurance, which covers your practice's operating costs if you become disabled. Athena Financial helps you structure coverage optimally across personal and corporate policies.

Does Athena Financial serve clients across BC and Ontario?

Yes. We serve professionals and business owners throughout British Columbia — including Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, Surrey, Kelowna, and Victoria — and across Ontario, including Toronto, Mississauga, Ottawa, Hamilton, London, and Kitchener-Waterloo. Both in-person and virtual consultations are available.
