Small Business Insurance

Business insurance is important for all businesses but it is small and medium businesses that have the most to lose by not having adequate insurance protection. While larger businesses may be able to absorb losses, the risks for smaller businesses are much more significant. That’s why AIB has developed flexible small business insurance packages so that you can run your business with confidence, knowing that their premises, stock and equipment are protected by insurance.

If your business involves direct contact with the general public then Public and Products Liability Insurance cover is going to be a necessity for your small or medium business. This type of insurance protects you against the financial impacts of negligence which results in personal injury to others of property damage.
In Queensland, it is optional for many small businesses. However, there are a number of business types where public liability insurance is mandatory.

Other Small Business Insurance Covers To Consider

  • Professional Indemnity: Safeguards your business against claims of negligence or breach of duty arising from advice or services.
  • Business Interruption: If your business is unable to operate due to an unexpected event like a natural disaster, insurance can help cover the costs of lost income and expenses, such as rent or payroll.
