BizCover has expanded its product offering by adding Ando Insurance to its New Zealand business insurance platform, in a move that will give more choice to small businesses.

As New Zealand’s small businesses emerge from two years of sporadic lockdowns and restrictions on trade, many may now be at risk of not having adequate insurance in place.

One of the things that makes New Zealand one of the safer countries for workers in the world is that there is a robust occupational health and safety regulatory system, backed up with numerous Acts of Parliament, to ensure that workers are kept safe as they go about their daily occupations. The legislation in place has fines or other penalties attached for breaches of regulations, and in many instances business owners or directors can be personally liable for these.
