Bizcover Tool Cover

Tradies are always on the go and rely on their tools to get the job done. What would happen if those tools were stolen or damaged? It might be worth considering Portable Equipment Insurance – Tool Cover – to get that extra peace of mind.

What would you do if your tools were suddenly gone? Maybe stolen, or maybe lost to some accident or catastrophe? Would you have cash on hand to replace them?

Portable Equipment Insurance, also known as General Property Insurance or Tool Cover, ensures the tools necessary to make a living are covered and a tradie’s business is protected.

We should never forget the cost of purchasing our tools and what they mean for our revenue. Most of us don’t have the cash on hand to replace tools immediately if they are lost, stolen or even damaged, so the best way to make certain of not being left high and dry is to adequately insure your tools. By purchasing Tool Cover, tradies can move more freely knowing their equipment is covered.

Tool Cover covers for loss and damage to items of portable equipment associated with your business. These can include tools of trade and items of stock.
