SME Business Insurance Pack
What is SME Business Insurance?
Having adequate business insurance cover is one of the most important considerations when in business to ensure protection should loss or damage occur. Business insurance policies allow you to select relevant sections of cover based on your individual needs and group them together as a package.
Businesses in New Zealand, particularly SMEs, can benefit from business insurance solutions that will cushion them from financially disastrous events which cause damage to property, loss of profits and third-party liabilities.
Every SME needs business insurance that considers their overall risk profile and addresses their needs. Depending on the business, industry, and the inherent risks associated with operating within that industry, an organisation can obtain an SME business insurance package that is tailored to meet their individual insurance needs.
Business insurance can include but is not limited to:
- Material Damage - provides protection against property damage to physical assets owned by the business, such as buildings, contents, stock and customers goods, in the event of an insured incident.
- Business Interruption - protects you from financial loss caused by an insured event or incident that halts business operations. Business interruption insurance helps return your business to the same financial position it was in prior to the event or incident.
