Machinery breakdown and electronics

Material damage insurance provides cover for your assets including buildings, fixtures, fittings, contents and stock. Additional electronic equipment breakdown insurance can help cover your electronic items such as photocopiers, computers and point of sale systems.

Property insurance

Property insurance helps cover the physical loss or damage to business assets (such as building, contents and stock) at your premises from specified unforeseen occurrences, such as fires and storms. Help keep your assets protected and your business running.

Money cover

Cover cash and cash equivalents on your premises during and outside of business hours. If a thief makes off with your money, you can still get it back – even if the culprit gets away. Help protect your money and keep your finances flowing.

Personal accident insurance

Also known as personal injury insurance, this cover helps provide financial compensation if the insured person suffers a serious injury or death as the result of an accident. It can cover against loss of income as well as bills and other expenses, depending on the policy purchased.

Workers compensation*

Marsh offers a range of services to help businesses manage their workers compensation responsibilities – including injury prevention and reduced claims. We can also provide risk advice on the currency and coverage of OH&S systems, aiming to avoid expensive fines and other penalties.

Frequently asked questions

The cost of hospitality insurance can vary from business to business and risk to risk. A number of factors can impact the premium of an individual policy, including:

  • Size and turnover

  • Geographical location

  • Claims history

  • Services and goods sold.

Different insurers may also have different pricing structures. Insurance providers can base a policy’s premium on the risks they take on – and having a high number of exclusions can reduce these risks, which may result in a lower premium.

We strongly recommend reviewing the policy wording or product disclosure statement beforehand to make sure the cover you are arranging meets the specific risk requirements of your business.

Yes. We can arrange monthly instalments** with a finance company provided you meet certain criteria. 

To request monthly payments, please talk to one of our dedicated Marsh insurance brokers.

The answer depends on how often your business changes.

As a rule of thumb, we recommend you review your policy at least once a year. This will ensure your business’s current risk exposures are covered.

But major changes – like business growth, greater work complexity or expanded services – should always prompt an insurance review.

Some insurers need to know about certain changes in accordance with your duty of disclosure. If your business has changed recently, contact the Marsh motor trades team to update your policy.
