New Business Insurance
Running your own business can be very rewarding. It gives you the freedom to set your own goals and can provide you with the lifestyle you want. But getting your business up and running takes commitment, time and significant upfront financial investment.
As you build your business’ reputation and find new customers, you’ll probably want to protect your hard work and investment. So if you or a key person in your business is suddenly taken ill or has a serious accident, how will your business continue to grow?
The solution is AIA New to Business Cover.
New business insurance
- AIA New to Business Cover
Protecting your business for the future.
AIA New to Business Cover is a simple insurance plan designed specifically for new and start-up businesses (less than four years old). It provides a monthly income to help keep the business afloat if you or a key person in your business is unable to work due to illness or accident.
You have a choice of five income levels, and the money can be used for any purpose – to pay expenses, hire new staff or buy new stock for instance. What’s more, the amount you get won’t be reduced by any other insurance benefits you receive, like ACC or other income protection benefits.
Our New to Business Cover is a financial safety net to ensure your business is able to continue, even if you’re unable to work.
Please refer to the relevant policy document for full details of the insurance contract and the terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions that may apply.
