Why Business Insurance

Why get Business Insurance?

Business Insurance offers small business owners or sole traders a monthly benefit to assist with covering costs in the case of injury or a serious illness. Key person cover contributes towards replacing a key member of your business for one or two years, if that person is unable to work due to illness or injury.

What are approved expenses?

Approved expenses are expenses that an insurer will pay for in the event of a claim such as accounting costs, utilities, employment of a locum, motor vehicle costs etc. They are costs that incurred as a result of running a business.

How much will this cost me?

Generally speaking, your age, health, occupation and monthly benefit allowance you need are major factors in the cost of your Business Insurance policy. Generally, the healthier and younger you are the cheaper your policy will be. If you work in a more risky industry or occupation you can expect to pay a little more.
