Frequently asked questions

We understand that premiums play a big role in choosing the right policy. But there is more to consider.

Premiums are based on the amount of risk the provider takes on – so a lower premium often means more exclusions.

To avoid confusion, be sure to read your policy wording and product disclosure statement carefully.

Consider this scenario: a poorly crimped pipe causes a water leak – damaging your client’s kitchen walls. As a result, your business is held liable to pay for damages to the client’s property and any legal costs incurred. 

We can arrange insurance policies that can protect you against the unexpected (and keep your cash flow running smoothly.)

Such policies include:

• Public liability

• Tools and equipment

• Commercial motor vehicle.

Your insurance needs will differ depending on the type of work and activities you complete. We will work with you to understand your risk exposures and prepare policies to keep your business protected.

It depends on how frequently your business changes. 

Major changes – such as business growth, greater work complexity or expanded services – should prompt an insurance review.

As a rule of thumb, we recommend you review your policy every year to ensure your business is covered for its current risk exposures.

If you're an existing customer, please reach out to our team.

  • Certificate of currency

  • Policy wording
