Tailored Insurance Coverage For Your Business
Property Insurance
Do you run a large business? If so, your machinery, stock and physical premises may be susceptible to damage. Repairs, replacements and downtime can prove costly. Property insurance covers accidental and criminal damage, fire, business interruption and lost income. You can also use this coverage for ongoing expenses such as utilities, rent and payroll.
Professional Indemnity insurance protects you from damages and legal costs from third parties. These claims can arise from an act, breach or omission of professional duty. PI insurance protects your professional reputation and ensures you won’t have to hastily settle a claim due to lack of finances.
Management Liability
Do you own or manage a company? If so, you have specific responsibilities, which can leave you liable if something goes wrong. Management Liability insurance protects your company, along with its directors, managers and executives against claims of misconduct. These include claims of discrimination, breach of duty, mismanagement, legislative breaches, and more.
This insurance protects from liability arising from personal injury or product damage. You are protected if, for instance, a customer injures themselves on your premises or if a customer’s goods are damaged during transport. Public Liability and Product Liability insurance covers compensation payments, along with your legal fees.
When selling goods, machines are your livelihood. Machinery breakdown insurance covers the equipment on your premises against sudden and unforeseen damage; mechanical failure (while equipment is in use or at rest); mechanical malfunction (while equipment is dismantled, relocated, reassembled, under inspection or cleaned); and direct loss from mechanical failure.
Marine Insurance
Marine insurance is indemnity coverage. It’s a guarantee that the goods you dispatch are insured. Despite the name, marine insurance covers all modes of transport by which goods are acquired, transferred and held between its origin and destination. It covers loss or damage to vehicles, cargo and terminals.
Tax Audit
Tax audits are expensive, time-consuming and stressful events. They can potentially cost your business thousands of dollars. Without adequate cover, your business can incur costly fees from accountants, bookkeepers, lawyers and many other professionals. However, tax audit insurance handles all expenses throughout the entire investigation and audit process.
Corporate Travel
Do your employees travel in a company car? Corporate travel insurance covers your employees for work-related accidents. This policy covers them in the event bodily injury or property damage occurs in a company vehicle. This coverage is essential, as personal car insurance does not cover third-party claims in business vehicles.
Workers’ Compensation
Workers’ Compensation is compulsory for every Australian business. This insurance covers employees in the event they incur an injury or illness in the workplace, and are forced to take time off work. Workers’ Compensation will cover an employees’ salary and any medical expenses which may arise.
Life insurance protects your business in the event of an employee’s sudden death. It covers your business from a decline to incoming revenue. If an employee should pass away, this insurance safeguards employers, employees and their families. Life insurance features business partner insurance, key person insurance and business expenses insurance.
Superannuation insurance covers employees in the event they are unable to work. It covers events such as asbestos-related injuries, eye injuries, head injuries or repetitive stress injuries. Part of employees’ super coverage, premiums are deducted from their super funds. It includes life insurance, income protection and TPD insurance.
Has your business sustained property damage? Whether it occurs through natural disaster or theft, you need to recover the lost income. Also known as business interruption
insurance, income protection allows covers ongoing expenses, such as rent, payroll and utilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I consider business insurance?
Business Insurance can be important for businesses to protect against specific forms of financial risk associated with the day-to-day operations. Without appropriate Business Insurance your business may be susceptible to financial claims—from clients, employees or other entities—that if not appropriately covered, could financially cripple your business. Our Insurance brokers & advisors at Coast & Country Insurance Consultants can help you understand your business’s risk profile and recommend appropriate insurance policies. Contact us today to schedule an appointment
Why can it be important to have multiple insurance policies?
Each insurance is designed to cover the financial impact of a specific risk or set of risks that your business may encounter. Because of this, there are exclusions with each policy that may need to be covered by separate insurance/s. For example, Public Liability Insurance may cover financial risk associated with injury to a third-party, but won’t cover injury to your own employees or damages resulting from providing professional advice or services to clients. Depending on your business, a Workers Compensation Policy and Professional Indemnity Insurance may also need to be considered.
How do I determine the right amount of coverage for my business?
To determine the right amount of coverage for your business, it’s important to consider a few key factors. Firstly, assess the nature and size of your business, the industry you’re operating in, the types of risks you face and the value of your assets (including both physical assets and intangible assets such as intellectual property). Additionally, consider your liability exposure, such as the potential claims from customers, clients or employees. At Coast & Country Insurance Consultants, we provide insurance advice for businesses across the Central Coast, helping you find the optimal cover to suit your needs.
Are there specific insurance requirements for certain industries or professions?
Yes, certain industries or professions have specific insurance requirements. This is particularly common in sectors where there’s a high risk of injury or damage, such as construction, healthcare and the legal professions. If you’re operating in a regulated industry, there may also be legal requirements to carry certain types of insurance. Regardless of your industry or profession, the team at Coast & Country Insurance Consultants can help you understand your specific insurance requirements.
What business insurance packages do you offer?
Depending on the nature of your business, we can provide you with a range of insurance options including but not limited to: Property Insurance, Professional Indemnity, Management Liability, Public Liability, Product Liability, Tax Audit, Corporate Travel, Business Interruption, Workers Compensation, Life Insurance, Superannuation, Income Protection, Machinery Breakdown, Plant & Equipment, Marine Insurance and Commercial Motor cover.
What steps should I take to file a business insurance claim?
When filing a business insurance claim, start by notifying your insurer as soon as possible. Document the incident in detail, including the date, time and what occurred. If applicable, take photos of any damage and gather any other supporting evidence. Complete your insurer’s claim form and provide as much information as possible to support your claim. Need to file a business insurance claim? Coast & Country Insurance Consultants are here to guide Central Coast businesses through the claims process.
Are there any exclusions or limitations in business insurance policies that I should be aware of?
Yes. Every business insurance policy has certain exclusions and limitations. These are situations or circumstances in which the policy won’t provide coverage. They may include specific types of damage, certain business practices or events classified as ‘acts of God’ like earthquakes and floods. It’s important to thoroughly read and understand your policy, including the exclusions and limitations before you commit to a policy. The team at Coast & Country Insurance Consultants are always on hand to explain the limitations of your business insurance policy.
How often should I review and update my business insurance coverage?
As a rule of thumb, you should review your business insurance coverage at least once a year or whenever there are significant changes to your business operations or organisational structure. This could include expansions, addition of new services or products, acquisitions of substantial new assets or other changes that could affect your risk profile. Coast & Country Insurance Consultants are here to help you review and adjust your business insurance coverage as your business evolves and grows.
Can I add or remove coverage options from my business insurance policy as needed?
Yes, most business insurance policies are flexible and can be adjusted to meet your business’ changing needs. If you think you need additional coverage or that certain coverages are no longer necessary, you can generally add or remove these from your existing policy. Please keep in mind that any changes can impact the cost of your premiums, so it’s important to discuss this with your insurer. At Coast & Country Insurance Consultants, we can help tailor your business insurance policy to best match the needs and budget of your business.
