Solutions we offer

Professional indemnity insurance

When your advice, design, opinion or ideas are your product, you have a responsibility to insure against errors and/or omissions that may lead to a financial loss to you, your business or your clients. No matter how professional and competent you are, anyone can make mistakes and that is why it is important to protect yourself with a professional indemnity policy that is tailored to the specific risks of your business.

Material damage

From boutique cafés to large warehouses and manufacturing plants, protection against material damage requires in-depth knowledge as unique as your operation. Your insurance broker can protect any physical asset involved in generating your profit. This includes assets like buildings, plant, machinery at the insured location and, where necessary, anywhere in New Zealand including whilst in transit.

Business interruption insurance

Time equals money and business interruption is one of the most underrated policies. A well tailored business interruption insurance policy will put you back in the same position you were in prior to a loss being incurred under your material damage policy such as fire or natural disaster. Your insurance broker will work with you to calculate everything from what should be insured, the sums insured and will include recommendations on the indemnity period. Even better, we do this every year for you.

Business vehicles

Protect everything from your sole work vehicle to your entire fleet. This includes, but isn’t limited to cars, trucks, vans, fork hoists and scissor lifts.

Financial risks

Risk is inherent to business, but those that apply to yours may not apply to others. That’s why we take the time to identify and understand the unique challenges of your industry to create the broadest cover possible and address your particular concerns. This can include the likes of computer fraud, crime and fidelity.

Legal liability

We understand the options to protect you or your business from legal liability must seem like a never-ending story at times. That is why we take the time to understand your business activities, so we can clearly advise you on the policies you require to protect you from obvious risks, and some you may not even realise you have. Your insurance broker will advise you on a range of polices including the likes of general liability (sometimes called public liability), statutory liability, directors & officers liability, through to employee related policies such as employment dispute insurance.

Unmanned aerial drone (UAV)

We can source cover for your drones on a replacement value basis that will protect you from accidental loss including damage whilst in use through to the legal liabilities that may arise if your drone was to fall out of the sky including general liability (public liability) and statutory liability.
