Locksmith

Running a locksmith business is a demanding and complex endeavour. Responding to your customers’ needs, maintaining stock and equipment, and staying on top of all of your company’s daily details is more than enough for you to consider. Making sure you have the right locksmith insurance cover is crucial.

The insurance professionals at Tradies 365 understand your unique circumstances and what you need as a part of your insurance policy. They also know that your individual needs might be a little different than what other locksmiths ought to carry.

WHAT DO I NEED AS A PART OF MY LOCKSMITH INSURANCE?

You will need general business insurance that is similar for most companies. Your cover may include:

• Compulsory Worker’s Compensation Insurance – If you operate a business in Australia and you have employees, all states and territories require worker’s comp insurance. A policy will protect your employees from loss caused by job-related factors.
• Public Liability Insurance – Your public liability insurance will pay in the event that you are the reason a non-employee sustains a loss
• Comprehensive Business Insurance – This policy provides cover to protect you from a loss caused by theft, vandalism, fire, flood, or other unforeseen events
• Third-Party Property Damage Cover – If you cause damage to someone’s property, this policy will pay

QUESTIONS TO HELP DETERMINE YOUR LOCKSMITH INSURANCE NEEDS:

WORKER’S COMPENSATION (WORKER’S COVER)

Per Australian law, all businesses have an obligation to carry worker’s compensation insurance. At Tradies365 we can build an affordable worker’s cover package to meet your needs. It is necessary for you to find out the specific details of the local ordinances where you work. Some areas require worker’s cover for your subbies because the local government sees them as your employees. Because the laws vary from one location to another, you need to be aware of the requirements.
