Tradies Insurance
As a tradie, you may be called to work on projects of all different types.
If you work for yourself, it’s important that you take the time to protect your business from unexpected costs, such as legal claims against you for injury or property damage, and loss, theft, or accidental damage of business assets, such as your tools and equipment.
Tradies and contractors face a variety of risks and hazards – from stolen tools and equipment to property damage, and third-party injury onsite. Getting the right cover can help protect your business if things go wrong.
Whether you’re an electrician, plumber, carpenter, tiler or handyman, understanding and finding the right insurance can be confusing.
All Star Brokers can offer flexible tailored covers for your business.
