Business Insurance
Whether you have a large business or are a sole trader, business today is tougher and more challenging than ever before. Your business faces a wide variety of risks - ranging from losses and events that could force you out of business down to minor losses.
How you access these risks will depend of the size and financial strength of your business.
Business Packs
Most businesses will require multiple types of cover and we can package most of these together in one easy to manage policy. Below are some of the sections that are normally provided under these.
Fire & Perils Cover
This covers Damage to Property insured at the Situation caused by any sudden or unexpected or unforeseen occurrence.
Example:
There was a water pipe burst in a real estate office. The water damage originated from the roof and resulted in part of the roof collapsing and water to overspill onto some of their working stations. This resulted in damage to the ceiling, three work desks/computers/phones and water damage and debris on carpet.
The real estate agent had both building and contents insured which allowed them to claim for the damage to the ceiling under the building insurance and to claim for the damage to the work stations and damage to the carpets. This resulted in a claim payable of $40,000
Burglary \ Theft Cover
This insures you for property that is stolen or damaged following a break & enter or armed hold up at your business premises.
Example:
Your mechanics workshop is broken into & tools & computer systems have been stolen, the cost of replacing the stolen items are covered up to your nominated sum insured.

Does your business have a continuity plan in case of a loss impacting on the profitability and turnover of the business?
Business interruption insurance covers the shortfall in gross profits caused by the interruption to a business from insured events, helps pay ongoing costs and protects profit margins until the business is back on its feet and back at its profit level before the interruption.
