Why it’s wise to consult a broker
Having a broker help identify the needs of your business provides a number of advantages.
- They are conversant with regulatory requirements and industry guidelines.
- Some contracts for services also specify the level of cover that you must have for legal compliance, and your broker can ensure you meet that.
- If the services you provide are highly specialised your broker can suggest endorsements that ensure you’re properly covered.
- They can also clearly inform you about any exclusions in cover that apply to your business.
- A broker can help you manage your premium costs by adjusting the amount your excess is set at.
We partner with your business to ensure you’re protected
The first step in this is for one of our brokers with specialised knowledge of the hospitality industry to get a clear understanding of your business, your risk exposures and your key concerns. Your broker may conduct an on-site risk review or refer you to an appropriate service provider.
Once this is done we will work with you to eliminate or reduce risks that can be managed by your business and to identify the areas where you may need insurance protection. These commonly include:
- Property
- Business Income Protection
- Crime
- Public & Products Liability
- Machinery Breakdown
- Management Liability
- Workcover / Workers Compensation
- Cyber risks
