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.

Every business is different, with unique exposure to risks and challenges. This makes the pricing of Business Insurance policies specific to each individual business. There are a range of factors considered when calculating the cost of a Business Insurance premium, some of these factors include:
- Your claim history
- The type of business operations you perform
- Your annual turnover
- The number of staff
- Level of cover
- Claims history
They are both designed to safeguard your business from different risks, and together can provide your business with comprehensive coverage.
Business Insurance can be packaged with a range of coverage options designed to protect things like your building, contents, tools and risk of business interruption in one policy.
While Public Liability insurance protects you and your business against the financial implications if you are found liable for loss or damage to other people’s property, or cause illness or injury that is not covered by the Accident Compensation Commission (ACC).
Yes! Business Interruption insurance provides cover for the loss of income and increased costs of operating your business caused by a specified insured event (such as property damage or fire). It is also designed to assist your business to recover from an insured event by paying ongoing expenses (such as wages or rent).
Note, Business Interruption cover can be added to your Business Insurance Package – only when you also select either Building or Property (Contents) cover (or both), it cannot be purchased on its own.
