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.

After spending almost a month back and forth with the “broker of the year” and then finally only receiving a quote for PL insurance at an astounding rate I thought I’d call BizCover. OMG what a difference in service, information and quality. As someone who trains in governance for many NGOs? I’ll be recommending your wonderful service. Thank you!!

Krystal was amazing, I was with another company (SIC) and got insurance with them last week, they have taken a week and still haven’t done what Kristal did in 5 minutes! I thank her greatly!

Simone was great and explained everything to me and answered my questions. I am a new business so finding my way. Having good service for such an important thing was wonderful.

It was a delight dealing with Milind today. He was professional, competent and a good listener. He quickly determined my needs and found the most suitable product for me. He made the process as painless and straightforward as possible. As a consequence, I intend to move other insurance policies to BizCover as the come up for renewal.
