Insurance for Handyman

Public Liability*

Running your handyman business is challenging. You’re constantly juggling your reputation, growing your business, cutting costs, and earning a decent profit. Nobody wants to make mistakes, but unfortunately, they tend to happen.

At times a minor error can lead to hundreds of dollars of property damage or injury. However, the last thing you need is the added burden of having to pay for injuries suffered by someone or accidental damage to property due to your work.

Public liability insurance is designed to protect small business owners against risks that arise and incur property damage, injury or loss to a third party.

The cost of public liability insurance depends on the extent of insurance cover you require, the size, location and nature of your business. When comparing the quotes, it is important to also look at the benefits and other features offered by each policy.

Business Insurance*

Beyond general liability claims, a handyman may face other hazards to their business that have the potential to be financially devastating. Business Insurance could help you confront these head on and create a safety net for your livelihood.

Business Insurance is an insurance package that includes cover for your business contents, stock, tools and commercial premises when a fire, storm, theft or other insured event occurs. A Business Insurance policy can also cover your portable equipment, accidental damage and loss of revenue due to business interruption in specified circumstances.

A handyman might consider including these types of cover in their Business Insurance package:

Portable Equipment Insurance

The success of your handyman business depends as much on your skills as your tools, some of which can be expensive. It is quite common for portable tools to get misplaced or lost, while there are also chances that they could get stolen or damaged. Paying out of your pocket to replace them is a setback that you cannot afford.

Portable Equipment insurance covers damage to your contents and stock, due to fire and other events listed within the policy wording. Portable Equipment policies typically include tool insurance cover that replaces your tools if they get lost, damaged, or stolen anywhere in New Zealand. With tool insurance cover, you won’t break the bank replacing the tools that are so vital to your everyday business.

Property (Contents)*

As a handyman, you might rent commercial space or have a designated place where you store important information relating to your small business. Whether that’s tiles waiting to be installed in a client’s bathroom or payment invoices needed for your tax filing, you’d potentially be out a lot of money if these items were damaged and needed replacing.

Property (Contents) covers you for loss of or damage to items belonging to you at the insured location, such as business equipment, stock, plant and machinery, records, fixtures and fittings and furniture.
