Cactus was founded in 2017 with a mission to firstly, ensure more Kiwi businesses were protected, and secondly, to make sure they were properly covered so there were no surprises at claim time.
Getting business insurance used to mean endless paperwork, lots of corporate lingo and having to deal with a suit that didn’t know the first thing about owning and running a small business – then feeling abandoned once you’d signed on the bottom line.
Cactus has been a game changer for Kiwi businesses by providing easy access to tailored insurance, without all the paperwork and jargon.
Our approach – creating tailored insurance packages to suit each industry, simplifying the paperwork, employing down to earth advisors who understand small business, and partnering with organisations to create a raft of additional benefits for policy holders.
At Cactus, we’re here to revolutionise the commercial insurance industry by creating an experience and products that are tailored
to you and your businesses.
Think of us as the no bullsh*t brokers for Kiwi business.
