Business insurance – sometimes called commercial insurance – is designed to protect your business when things take an unexpected turn. More specifically, it protects you from financial losses that you might suffer during your day-to-day business activities. This could include, for example, loss of or damage to your business assets due to a fire, or someone taking legal action against your company.

There are many types of business insurance, including:

  • Professional Indemnity insurance
  • Public Liability insurance
  • Workers’ Compensation insurance
  • Product Liability insurance
  • Personal Accident and Illness insurance
  • Business & Office Pack
  • Cyber Liability insurance

Yes, you can choose different insurance policies through different insurers. BizCover, our Business Insurance partner, provides a contestable platform – this means you can pick and choose from multiple different products from multiple insurers, depending on what best suits your business. The best part is that sales, service and renewals are all handled in-house, and they even help progress claims with the insurer, meaning there is only one number if you ever need to get in contact about your policies.

There is no one answer to these questions, as every business is unique. However, there are factors you can take into consideration to help you decide how much cover you may need and how much you can expect to pay.

The amount of coverage you need and your premiums (the price you pay for your insurance) may depend on factors such as:

  • Your industry
  • The size of your business
  • Where your business is located
  • Limits set by your professional body or business contracts
  • Your claims history

When buying business insurance, answer all questions accurately and choose an appropriate level of cover to ensure that you are protected when you need to make a claim.

*As with any insurance, cover is subject to the terms, conditions and exclusions contained in the policy wording.  The information contained on this website is general only and should not be relied upon as advice.
