Running a business comes with a wide range of risks, from property damage to liability claims and business interruptions.
A Business Insurance Package (Biz Pack) provides comprehensive cover tailored to protect small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from financial losses. Whether you're a startup or an established company, having the right business insurance helps to ensures your operations remain secure, no matter the challenges.
What is Business Package Insurance?
Business Package Insurance (Biz Pack) is a comprehensive insurance policy designed to protect businesses from financial loss due to unexpected risks. It combines multiple coverages—such as Public Liability, Property Damage, and Business Interruption—into one package.
Whether you're a startup or an established SME, a Business Pack provides tailored insurance cover to help protect your assets, operations, and income. By consolidating key coverages into a single policy, it offers a cost-effective and practical solution for managing business risks.
What does Business Package Insurance cover?
A typical Business Pack includes the following cover:
- Public Liability Insurance Cover:
Covers legal costs and compensation claims if your business is held liable for injury or property damage to a third party. - Business Interruption Insurance:
Provides financial support for lost income and ongoing expenses if your business is disrupted due to an insured event, such as fire or flood. - Products Liability Insurance:
Protects against claims arising from products your business sells, supplies, or manufactures that cause injury or damage. - General Liability Insurance:
Covers broader liability risks, including claims related to your business operations and premises. - Property and Asset Protection:
Protection against fire, theft, accidental and malicious damage done to your business (within the limits of the prescribed policy wording).
Do I need Business Package Insurance?
A Business Insurance Package is for any business, no matter what type of business or industry you are a part of.
You may need a Business Insurance Package if:
- You own or operate a small to medium-sized business and want to safeguard against liability claims, property damage, or business disruptions.
- You are starting a new business and need coverage to protect your premises, equipment, stock, and financial interests from the outset.
- Your business involves customer interactions, product sales, or service delivery, exposing you to potential public or product liability claims.
- You rely on physical assets such as an office, shopfront, warehouse, or equipment, which could be damaged by fire, theft, or other unforeseen events.
Insurance Tips for Businesses
- Consider Business Vehicle Coverage:
Some Business Insurance policies can include cover for vehicles primarily used for business purposes including company cars, delivery vehicles, or work vans. - Be transparent about your business activities:
When setting up your policy, it is important to ensure you provide your insurance broker with full details about your business operations and activities you are involved in. Certain endorsements, exclusions, or conditions in your policy may impact your coverage, so it's important to ensure all aspects of your business are considered. - Review your policy regularly:
As your business grows or changes, your insurance needs may evolve. Regularly reviewing your policy can help to ensure your coverage remains adequate and up to date. - Understand what's not included:
Business Insurance packages do not include Workers Compensation Insurance, which is mandatory if you employ staff. This cover must be arranged in a separate policy in accordance with your state regulations. Find out more about Workers Compensation Insurance here.
