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
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). A Business Insurance package can also cover your portable equipment, glass and 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.
Take a moment to consider if you were to suffer an accidental injury or fall ill. What impact would this have on your business? Would you still be able to generate an income and maintain living expenses, bills, rent and wages?
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).
