Tradie Business

A contractor’s guide to Business Insurance Packs

When you’re putting in work for someone else, it’s important to protect yourself. For many contractors and subcontractors, that means a Business Insurance Pack.

Business Insurance Packs are customisable insurance bundles that can help tradies protect their business premises and contents against loss, damage or theft caused by business interruptions (such as a fire, storm, accidental damage, and more). They’re an easy and affordable way to manage multiple small business risks in one go.

Contractors typically add these types of cover to their Business Insurance Packs:

Public Liability

Generally speaking, for most tradies Public Liability insurance is a must-have. It may be required to get a trades license or simply to enter a job site. Many businesses also require that the contractors and subcontractors they hire have their own policy.

Even if a Public Liability policy is not mandatory, it may still be useful. Public Liability insurance helps protect you against financial loss from some of the most common worksite incidents: third-party property damage and injury claims.

Portable Equipment

What’s a tradie without their tools? Contractors may choose Portable Equipment cover to help them replace lost or damaged tools and equipment. After all, your precious tools travel with you to worksites and every time you visit a client.

Contents

Responsible for purchasing project materials? You may want to consider Contents cover to help replace stock that is damaged in a fire, storm, or other events listed in the policy wording.

Theft

At the end of the day, you may store your tools of trade, equipment, and other essential business items in a shed, garage, or workshop. How about the possibility of someone breaking in? Theft cover could help you replace tools and stock that are stolen from your business premises.
