Insurance enables business owners to dream and set big goals with the comfort that their livelihood may have the safety net of insurance. It’s about more than just protecting your assets.
Claiming can be stressful. Let’s be honest, the reason you’re having to claim in the first place is enough of a reason to curl in a ball in the corner. Let a broker handle the paper work.
Insuring your risk (or ambition as we like to call it), is crucial to peace of mind and security. A broker can help make sense of all the policy options, providing you with tailored cover specific to your circumstances.
Some brokers are specialists in a particular field but the majority can help with general insurance. You can use our Find-a-Broker tool to search for brokers in your area or that specialise in your type of business.
Brokers understand the available range of policy wordings and options across insurers, ensuring they are fit for purpose. Each broker is different, but they might choose to show you a few options that suit across a range of prices, including one they might recommend more highly. They’ll offer their professional guidance and be honest about the differences between each policy, letting you consider, compare, and decide.
Your broker will arrange your policy and provide you with the necessary documents including your Certificate of Insurance (COI) and Product Disclosure Statement (PDS). You can also read the insurers’ Target Market Determination (TMD) on their website.
They’ll explain each policy’s inclusions and price, including premium and excess. If your business’s needs become more complex, your broker will search for other suitable alternatives.
Insurance brokers can advocate for you at claims time and will liaise directly with the insurer on your behalf.
Your insurance broker will keep in touch and reach out to help you manage your needs if they have changed. You can contact your insurance broker at any time if you have any queries about your insurance needs.
When you partner with an insurance broker, they may receive a commission from the insurer for the leg work involved in advising and administering the placement of insurance policies.
