Where to start
If you’re new to business insurance, start with whether you need it, then what public liability and professional indemnity cover. Those two are the covers most small businesses are asked for, and the most often confused.

About our guides
Who writes these guides?
Each guide names its reviewer and lists the sources it relies on, with government sources first.
Are the guides financial advice?
No. They’re general information only and don’t take your objectives, financial situation or needs into account. Read the PDS and TMD before you buy.
How often are guides updated?
Each guide shows the date it was last reviewed. Rates and rules that change on a schedule, such as Victoria’s insurance duty, are rechecked when they change.
