Commercial insurance is a strategic investment in your business’s resilience. Whether you're a small startup or a large enterprise, the right cover can mean the difference between recovery and ruin when the unexpected strikes.

From property damage and employee injuries to business interruptions (yes, even load shedding), risks are often beyond your control. That’s why smart business insurance is key, because when it comes to protecting your business, prevention is always better than cure.

The three pillars of commercial insurance

Understanding the types of commercial insurance available helps you choose the right protection for your business:

1. Liability insurance

Covers your business against third-party claims, including personal injury or property damage lawsuits and customer injuries on your premises.

Without liability cover, a single lawsuit could threaten your entire operation.

2. Property insurance

Protects your physical assets from events like fire, flood, storm damage, theft or vandalism.

Remember, disasters don’t wait for a convenient time, so make sure your business can weather any kind of incident.

3. Workers’ compensation insurance

Provides cover if an employee is injured on the job and helps cover medical expenses and lost wages or negligence lawsuits against your business.

This type of insurance supports both your team and your bottom line.
