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

Each landscaping business is different, with unique insurance needs. That said, here are a couple of business insurance policies commonly purchased by landscapers: 

  • Public Liability insurance, which protects you and your business in the event a customer, supplier or a member of the public is injured or sustains property damage as a result of your negligent activities. If you’re a contractor, you may want to consider your contractual obligations before you set boots on the job. That’s because you may be required to carry a minimum level of Public Liability insurance. 
  •  Business Insurance. Business Insurance is a 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).    
  • Portable Equipment cover, which can be included in your Business Insurance package. This policy can cover you for loss and damage to items of portable equipment associated with your business.  This can include tools of trade and items of stock. 
  • Personal Accident and Illness insurance can provide levels of cover for loss of income if you are unable to work, suffer permanent disablement and even death as a result of an unexpected injury or illness (even if it occurs outside of your employment).
