Can I cancel my policy?2018-11-14T15:31:05+11:00

You can cancel your policy at any time.  But remember your policy is relevant at the time of the claim against you, not when the work was done.  Because we can’t predict when or if these claims will happen it’s a good idea to always have cover.

If you wish to cancel, please send this in writing by emailing cancel@bizcover.com.au.  Please include your policy number, the date you’d like the cancellation to take place, the reason for cancellation and your bank details for the EFT refund, if applicable.

When you submit your written cancellation notice the commission and fees paid to BizCover are not refunded to you.  The insurers will retain the proportion of the premium calculated pro rata as of the cancellation date as well as a percentage of that amount.  There may be other cancellation provisions, depending on the insurer.

How do I renew my policy?2018-11-14T15:25:53+11:00

To make life as easy as possible for our business customers (we know how busy they already are) we auto renew where possible to cut out unnecessary work.  With Auto Renewals we do all the work and renew the policy so that you can relax knowing that your business continues to be protected.

We will automatically renew your policy each year.  This means 21 days before your policy is due for renewal, we will send you a notice and if we don’t hear from you, and nothing has changed, your policy will be automatically renewed.

If you don’t qualify for auto renewal, then we will send you an email 31 days before renewal is due outlining the steps you need to take to renew your insurance.

Your notification will have the renewal amount and the last four digits of the credit card that will be used to take the payment. If those details are all correct, then there would be nothing for you to do.  Your card will be charged 3 business days before the expiry date of your policy.

If you need to make changes, just give us a call.

How are premiums calculated?2018-08-15T00:39:39+10:00

Insurers take into account a number of different factors when calculating business insurance premiums, including:

  • The type of risk you are covering and also the amount of risk it presents
  • How your business is made up, this includes your industry, location, size (employees and revenue)
  • The amount of cover and any excess
  • Any claims you have made

.

If I make a claim will my premium increase?2018-08-15T15:52:01+10:00

Making a claim can have an impact on your premium when it comes to renewal time  The details and the amount that your premium may increase by are determined by the insurer of the claim at the time of your renewal.
