Business Pack

Business Insurance Pack for Australian SMEs

Bundles the covers a small business typically needs into a single policy: the premises and what is in them, the income lost if you cannot trade, and liability to the public. One renewal date, one excess structure, usually cheaper than buying the parts separately.

What it covers

  • Buildings, contents and stock
  • Business interruption — the income lost while you cannot trade
  • Theft, money and glass as elected sections
  • Public and products liability

What it does not

  • Injury to your own staff — that is Workers Compensation
  • Your vehicles — that is Commercial Motor
  • Professional advice — that is Professional Indemnity
A claim, in practice

A cafe owner came in after a weekend break-in: $18,000 of stock, the espresso machine and the till cash were gone. The pack paid out within two weeks and also covered the takings lost while the doors were closed.

What an insurer will ask you

These are the real questions, and why each one changes your premium. Our chat walks through them with you.

Which sections do you want included?

A pack is modular. Property and liability are the usual core; theft, money, glass and the rest are elected, and each one you add changes the premium.

What is the building made of — walls, roof, floors?

Construction drives the property and theft premium more than almost anything else. Brick and concrete price well; fibro and iron attract fire-spread loadings.

What alarm system is fitted?

A monitored back-to-base alarm can reduce theft losses substantially and attract a meaningful discount. A local-only alarm that just makes noise attracts little.

How long would it take to get trading again after a serious loss?

That answer sets the business interruption indemnity period. Too short and the cover stops paying while you are still rebuilding.

Tell us what you do, and we will take it from there.

No forms. Answer a few questions in chat and an authorised broker takes it to the market for you.
