What is Commercial Insurance?

Commercial Insurance protects a business’s assets, balance sheet and people. It ensures the business will continue even after a significant event impacts the operation.

With correctly structured insurances, you will be able to replace or repair assets, cover your lost income, and pay and keep your key staff.

What is the benefit of having Commercial Insurance?

If you have structured your insurances correctly, you will be able to replace or repair assets, cover your lost income, and pay and keep your key staff. Talk to our team about business interruption insurance and why it could save the day.

Where do I start, how do I buy insurance policies and what do I need?

Good news, you don’t need to become an insurance expert overnight.
We will tailor the right insurance program for you, that is cost effective and protects your assets, balance sheet and people.
With you, we will build a business profile of your operation. Typically, we would ask you questions like:
List of your assets and locations
What level of protection, e.g., extinguishers, fire doors, alarms etc
What your business does
What you make or import/export
Payroll, number of employees and turnover
Your claims experience
We then identify the exposures your business has. They would include:
Natural perils like flood or windstorm
Traditional perils that all businesses face, e.g., fire, burglary, malicious damage etc
Specific exposures for your business, e.g., you may export product to the United States, a renowned litigious jurisdiction should things go wrong
Statutory or compulsory insurance buys
Emerging risks such as cyber or environmental
