Get cover that works with the risks of your business
Select different cover amounts for each policy listed below.
This is the most you will be paid out if you need to make a claim.
Unsure how much to choose? Think about:
Statutory profession requirements
Cover required by contracts
Number of employees being covered
Your contract value
Worst case scenario claim size
Underinsurance
We know it’s tempting to select a lower level of cover to reduce premiums, but this can leave businesses shocked and insufficiently covered when making a claim.
Ways underinsurance catches business owners out:
Inflation
With inflation, the cost of living and doing business increases. Remember to cover you, your tools and assets for the rising costs of replacing or covering them, not what you paid for them – you may be surprised at the difference.
Not covering the full cost of your risks
If you select cover levels for less than the value you may be found liable – left out of pocket when it comes to claims time. It’s important to review your risks and determine how much you will need to cover any claim that may come your way.

Frequently asked questions
For many fence repair and construction contractors, Public Liability* is essential. Many clients require fencing contractors to have Public Liability insurance to work with them. It may also be necessary to work as a subcontractor for another fence construction business.
Public Liability insurance covers legal fees and compensation costs if a customer, member of the public, or a supplier claims against you for injury or damage to their property as a result of your alleged negligent business activity.
Business Insurance* is an insurance package designed to provide cover for your business contents, stock, tools and commercial premises when an insured event occurs (such as fire, storm, theft or even accidental damage). A Business Insurance package can also cover your portable equipment, glass and for loss of revenue due to business interruption in specified circumstances. In addition, cover is available for public liability, tax audit, employment practices and statutory liability risks.
A fence construction business might choose cover for their tools and equipment (Machinery Breakdown), their records and other business property (Contents), and unexpected work stoppages (Business Interruption), among many others.
Personal Accident & Illness insurance* provides a weekly income benefit following an accidental injury or illness once signed off from work by a medical practitioner for a set amount of time. The covers you select will apply even if the injury or illness occurs outside of your employment.
