Notes
The answers I give on the phone, written down.
Every week a business owner in Halifax asks me something they assumed was obvious and it turns out nobody ever explained it to them. Certificates. Renewal increases. What a policy quietly leaves out. I write those answers down here so you can read one at midnight instead of waiting for me to pick up.
