Duliban Insurance Brokers Expands in the GTA Through Acquisition of Insuranceland Inc.

Duliban Insurance Brokers Limited, a division of McDougall Insurance Brokers Limited, is pleased to announce that it has combined operations with Insuranceland Inc., a property and casualty insurance brokerage based in Mississauga, Ontario.

The acquisition marks another important step in Duliban's continued growth across Ontario. It expands the brokerage's presence in the Greater Toronto Area while bringing Insuranceland's experience and strategic focus in group insurance into the Duliban and McDougall organization.

For clients, employees, and partners of both organizations, the combination brings together experienced Ontario insurance professionals with a shared commitment to strong relationships, personalized service, and long-term growth.

Welcoming Insuranceland to the Duliban and McDougall Family

Insuranceland is a multi-generational family business led by Paul and Sophie Hainer. Based in Mississauga, the brokerage has developed a strong presence in property and casualty insurance, with a particular strategic focus on group insurance.

The relationship between Duliban and Insuranceland is also not a new one.

The two organizations have collaborated closely in the past, providing a strong foundation for the partnership and an existing understanding of each other's businesses.

Jason Duliban, President of Duliban Insurance Brokers, said that history makes the opportunity particularly exciting.

“Duliban has collaborated closely with Insuranceland in the past. Paul and Sophie are held in the highest regard, and I am extremely excited to pair their skills in group insurance with our operational know-how.”

— Jason Duliban, President, Duliban Insurance Brokers

The combination brings together the experience and expertise developed at Insuranceland with the operational resources available through Duliban and McDougall.

Expanding Duliban's Presence in the Greater Toronto Area

The acquisition also represents continued geographic growth for Duliban and McDougall.

Insuranceland's Mississauga location provides an expanded presence in the Greater Toronto Area and supports McDougall's continued growth across Ontario. At the same time, the transaction diversifies Duliban's insurance offerings through Insuranceland's experience in the group insurance space.

Duliban has now been part of the McDougall Insurance group for just over a year. During that time, the organization has continued to identify opportunities to strengthen its operations, expand its reach, and bring together insurance businesses that share similar values.

Jason Duliban said the experience of joining McDougall has exceeded expectations.

“Duliban has now been a division of the McDougall group for a little over a year and our experience has surpassed all expectations, in terms of both the advantages of scale and the quality of opportunities for inorganic growth. We are incredibly excited about our future and feel like we are just getting started.”

— Jason Duliban, President, Duliban Insurance Brokers

The addition of Insuranceland represents another step in that growth.

Shared Values Between Family Businesses

One of the defining features of the transaction is the family-business history shared across the organizations.

Insuranceland is a multi-generational family brokerage. Duliban also has deep roots as a family insurance business, while McDougall has continued to build its organization by partnering with brokerages that share its approach to clients, employees, and communities.

Lorne McDougall, Vice-President of McDougall Insurance, emphasized the importance of that alignment.

“McDougall loves family deals. The alignment of values, the shared vision and the common cultures lead to winning outcomes for our clients, staff and communities. We are honoured to add yet another family business to our own.”

— Lorne McDougall, Vice-President, McDougall Insurance

That shared approach provides an important foundation as the organizations begin their next chapter together.

Paul and Sophie Hainer to Remain With Insuranceland

Continuity is also an important part of the transaction.

Paul and Sophie Hainer will remain with Insuranceland following the transaction, allowing clients and employees to continue working with the leadership they know while gaining access to the broader support available through Duliban and McDougall.

Paul Hainer described the combination as an opportunity to build on what Insuranceland has already established.

“I have always felt that combining Insuranceland with Duliban would be a recipe for success.”

— Paul Hainer, Insuranceland Inc.

He also highlighted the opportunity to continue improving the client experience while working alongside Duliban to develop and grow within the group insurance space.

For existing Insuranceland clients, the goal is continuity combined with additional support.

Duliban and McDougall are committed to helping Insuranceland maintain the high standards of professionalism and customer service its clients have come to expect.

Building the Next Chapter Together

The addition of Insuranceland strengthens Duliban's presence in the GTA, adds further experience to the organization, and creates new opportunities within the group insurance market.

More importantly, it brings together businesses with similar histories and values.

As Duliban continues to grow as part of McDougall Insurance Brokers Limited, the focus remains on building an organization that combines the advantages of greater scale with the personal service and relationships that have defined the businesses involved.

For Insuranceland, Duliban, and McDougall, this transaction represents an opportunity to build on those strengths together.

We are excited to welcome Paul, Sophie, and the entire Insuranceland team to the Duliban and McDougall family and look forward to what comes next.
