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

Business insurance is not a legal requirement for martial arts teachers, but there are times when a policy may be necessary. 

It’s important to note that most gyms and studios, may require you to have your own Public Liability insurance in place before you can teach in their space. A Public Liability policy is also usually a prerequisite for obtaining a council permit to be able to work in public outdoor spaces. 

If you are leasing your own premises your landlord may require proof of Public Liability insurance, and sometimes Glass insurance (an optional part of a Business Insurance Pack), for your martial arts business. 

No, BizCover does not provide business insurance to martial arts businesses that oversee professional bouts or competitions. 

Both forms of insurance cover different risks that may impact your business. Public Liability insurance is important for martial arts trainers by providing protection for you and your business in the event a student, supplier or a member of the public is injured or sustains property damage as a result of your negligent business activities. Professional Indemnity insurance can help you respond to claims made against you or your business for losses incurred as a result of actual or alleged negligent acts or omissions in the provision of your professional martial arts service or advice. 

A Business Insurance Package is an easy way for marital arts teachers to protect their business property and assets. 

There are a number of different cover options for you to choose from, depending on your business needs. Here are a few for you to consider:  

  • Portable Equipment Insurance* covers the cost to replace or repair your portable martial arts training equipment if it’s lost, stolen or damaged anywhere within Australia.  
  • Building Insurance* covers the cost of repairing or rebuilding business premises (that you own) as a result of insured events, such as fire, storm and other perils.  
  • Business Interruption Insurance*  cover for financial loss as a result of an interruption to your business caused by an insured event.
