How we work (no fluff — just a clean process)
We learn your goals, budget, demographics, and any renewal pain points.
We build plan options with tradeoffs explained clearly (coverage vs. cost vs. long-term stability).
We coordinate setup, enrollment, and employee communication so launch feels simple.
We stay close to performance and renewals—so the plan keeps working year after year.
Why “The Maritime Way”
The benefits world has shifted toward consolidation and call-centre experiences. We built ECEB to bring back the personalized touch: responsive service, plain-English explanations, and a plan designed around the realities of Atlantic Canadian businesses.
FAQs
Do you only work with Halifax businesses?
No. We’re Halifax-based, but we support employers across Nova Scotia and Atlantic Canada (including remote teams).
Can you help if we already have a plan?
Yes — we can review your current plan, identify renewal pressure points, and quote alternatives or redesign to improve stability and value.
What do you need to start?
Usually a quick discovery call, a basic employee census, and any current plan/renewal details if you have them.
