• The team at Rothbury Insurance Brokers North Shore - Christmas get together

Why local insurance brokers are the secret to better cover

Small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) are the backbone of our local communities. Over the last year, they've been under threat and dealing with losses from Covid-19 Delta, cyber-security risks and the intensification of climate change. It's more important than ever to mitigate risks to help ensure business survival and success.

Working with a local broker at Rothbury Insurance Brokers is a good way to accomplish this and access the right insurance solutions.

They've got the local knowledge and insurance expertise to understand your business and tailor an insurance policy to meet your needs. 

From initial risk assessment and recommending your insurance options, to ongoing support, policy renewal, and claims management, a local broker at Rothbury will manage the entire process to save you time and help ensure the best outcome. And because Rothbury has access to thousands of insurance companies, they can consistently deliver the best policy options on your behalf.

  • Personal service and quality advice from locals.

When businesses are already vulnerable, unexpected losses, financial headwinds and accidents can make it difficult to keep the doors open. That's why it's so important to insure your business to enhance its financial resilience.  

Before they meet any business, Rothbury brokers do their homework to make sure that the advice they give is as relevant as possible. It's all about identifying the risks and vulnerabilities that could cause difficulties – and covering yourself against them to ensure your business has the best chance to thrive.

Using the very latest assessment tools, a Rothbury broker will weigh several factors, including risk, coverage, price and the policy options available (inclusions or exclusions, cover limits and excess levels). 

  • Getting your business back on its feet

The Vero Insurance Index shows that SMBs that make claims through a broker are more satisfied with the claims process than those who buy their insurance direct. In fact, 72 per cent of broker clients who made a claim were satisfied versus only 37 per cent of direct claimants.

When you need to claim insurance, it's best to have an expert in your corner to advocate on your behalf with insurance companies. Rothbury has a dedicated local claims expert to manage your claim from beginning to end.  Not only does this save you time but means you can focus on getting your business back on its feet.

If you’ve been thinking about getting a second opinion on your business insurance, it’s time to call Rothbury Insurance Brokers.
