Cover we provide for kiwi tradies

Tools & equipment

Your tools, equipment and stock are your livelihood, so protecting them is critical. This covers the cost of repairing or replacing if it’s lost, stolen, or damaged.

PUBLIC lIABILITY

Accidents happen! This covers damage to third-party property or injury to third parties that occur as a result of your business operations.

Employers Liability

If you’ve got staff, this one’s a must. Ensure you have cover for when an employee is injured or becomes ill as a result of the work and decides to sue your business (separate from ACC).

COMMERCIAL vEHICLE

Having the right vehicle insurance is key – third-party insurance isn’t mandatory in New Zealand, but it’s highly recommended to cover you if anything happens on the road.

CONTRACT WORKS

If you’re in the construction or renovation game, this is a no-brainer. It covers damage or loss to a project while it’s being built, this is key for people in trades.

bUSINESS INTERRUPTION

Minimise the financial blow of interruptions – this supports your operations during and after the damage.
