Flexible Group Insurance & Health Plans for Alberta Contractors and Small Businesses

We're excited to spotlight Bloom Benefits a trusted Contractor Group partner helping Alberta contractors, tradespeople, and small business owners access affordable group insurance, wellness programs, and employee benefit solutions built for the real world.

As one of Canada’s fastest-growing insurance advisories, Bloom Benefits is removing the complexity from benefits planning and helping members save time, money, and stress without compromising on coverage or care.

About Bloom Benefits

“We created Bloom Benefits to rethink a stagnant industry. Contractors and small businesses are often overlooked and we’re here to change that.”

Headquartered in Calgary and proudly Canadian-owned, Bloom Benefits connects contractors and business owners with customized group insurance, contractor health plans, and wellness benefits that are easy to understand and even easier to access.

Unlike traditional brokers, Bloom goes beyond just selling coverage. They build long-lasting partnerships, offer hands-on service, and create opportunities for clients to connect, network, and grow together.

“In just three years, we’ve reinvested over $500,000 into the communities we serve. We host events, sponsor initiatives, and support our clients in ways that extend far beyond insurance.”

Supporting Contractors & Small Businesses

For contractors and independent business owners, the road to proper coverage can feel overwhelming.

“High premiums, complicated policies, and lengthy waiting periods are common challenges. Many contractors end up with plans that don’t suit their actual needs.”

To simplify the process, Bloom designed a pooled program with three tiers of coverage custom-tailored for Contractor Group members. No medical exams. No waiting periods. Payments are even made via credit card.

“It’s truly one of the simplest and most accessible group insurance programs available to Alberta contractors.”

For most independent tradespeople and small teams, Bloom recommends pooled programs, which offer the benefits of large-scale group plans without the high individual costs. Flexibility is added through spending accounts and optional life/disability insurance, ensuring a tailored experience for each business.

Value, Flexibility & Member Benefits

“Flexibility is key. Our contractor plan offers three levels of coverage, so employees can choose what fits and scale up as their needs grow.”

Bloom doesn't just offer plans they custom-build solutions for businesses of all sizes and stages. Whether you’re a solo tradesperson or managing a team, Bloom designs your program around your unique needs, goals, and budget.

And yes Contractor Group members receive exclusive rates. On top of plan savings, all Bloom clients gain access to The Bloom Advantage a collection of discounted services from local vendors, including:

• Eye care & glasses

• Dental cleaning

• Wine, meals, and more

“One Calgary-based contractor saved thousands annually by switching to our plan and improved retention with better employee satisfaction. The ROI is real.”

Wellness & Workplace Culture

Today’s workforce expects more than a paycheck and Bloom understands that.

“When employees feel supported, they’re more engaged, loyal, and productive. It’s that simple.”

In 2025, Bloom sees mental health support as the biggest opportunity for small businesses. They're helping Contractor Group members integrate:

• Virtual therapy

• Wellness apps

• Flexible spending accounts

“These modern tools boost morale, improve productivity, and create real loyalty without adding heavy costs.”

Bloom’s partnership with Contractor Group is rooted in shared values: support, service, and community.

“This partnership lets us do what we love helping hardworking contractors get the coverage they deserve while giving back to the community.”

They remain deeply involved in Calgary’s business scene attending, sponsoring, and hosting events that help their clients thrive. In fact, many of their clients become collaborators and peers, building their networks and growing together.
