How Are They Changing the World?
Group insurance plans can be difficult to source, implement and manage. Enter Sterling Capital Brokers - they’ve found a solution to this problem.
Sterling Capital Brokers (SCB) is helping to democratize the insurance space by giving small and medium-sized businesses access to world-class service & technology. SCB acts as an aggregator in order to simplify access, reduce costs and increase the service level for SMB and MidMarket companies looking to purchase group life insurance products.

SCB also simplifies the administrative burden so that these small businesses can put their energy back into growing their businesses. Their proprietary technology platform is a core differentiator. They have built their own platform (SCB Connect) which integrates with the largest insurance carriers in Canada and global HRIS platforms and Payroll platforms to administer a streamlined solution. This gives their customers access to better understand their risk management and reporting, and create an easy user experience for their employees.
SCB is the largest independently owned and operated Third Party Administrator (TPA) and Broker in Canada, and 4th largest overall. Established in 2014, SCB is growing rapidly with 100% YoY growth with an impressive ARR figure and big plans ahead as they continue to scale their go-to-market strategy.
