As a Steadfast Network broker, National Corporate Broking (NCB) provides a comprehensive suite of commercial insurance products. We arrange bespoke policies to mitigate the unique operational, legal, and environmental risks of running a business in Australia.
Liability & Legal Protections
Litigation is a growing risk for Australian businesses. These policies can form an important part of a risk management strategy by helping to manage the financial impact of certain claims of negligence, professional errors, and third-party damage
Public & Product Liability Insurance:
Public Liability: Essential, foundational cover for businesses of all sizes. It can help cover certain legal liabilities and associated costs arising from third-party personal injury or property damage claims. Commonly considered by all businesses operations, including construction, retail and hospitality businesses.
Product Liability: May protect manufacturers, wholesalers, online sellers, and retailers against claims of personal injury or property damage caused by a faulty product you sold, supplied, manufactured or imported under Australian Consumer Law.
Professional Indemnity (PI) Insurance:
May provide cover for legal defence costs and compensatory damages arising from certain claims alleging negligent acts, errors or omissions. Who needs it: Any business or professional that provides advice in any form. IT consultants, accountants, engineers, architects, and healthcare professionals and many other occupations.
Asset & Revenue Protection
A physical disaster doesn't just destroy buildings; it stops your cash flow. These covers can help businesses manage the financial impact of damage to assets and interruptions to trading.
Business Interruption (BI) Insurance:
An important form of protection for businesses facing insured interruptions to trading activities. Business Interruption Insurance may provide cover for loss of revenue and certain ongoing operating expenses following an insured event, subject to policy terms, conditions, exclusions and indemnity periods.
General Property (Tools of Trade):
May provide cover for portable business assets against a range of insured events, both within Australia and overseas. Whether it's a carpenter's power tools stolen from a ute or an executive's laptop damaged in transit, helping businesses repair or replace essential equipment following an insured loss.
Commercial Motor & Fleet Insurance:
Protection for business-registered vehicles. We arrange insurance solutions for vehicles ranging from individual trade vehicles and service vans through to large
commercial fleets and transport operators.
Property & Construction Specifics
With Western Sydney and the broader NSW region undergoing rapid development, robust protection for physical structures and active job sites is critical.
Contract Works (Construction All Risks):
Specifically designed for builders and tradesmen. It can cover physical damage to the property being constructed, as well as tools and materials on-site, against theft, fire, malicious damage, and severe weather events prior to handover.
Commercial Building & Strata Insurance:
Designed for commercial landlords, property syndicates and
body corporates, this cover may assist in managing the financial impact of certain property and/or financial related losses.
Industrial Special Risks (ISR):
A broad-form property insurance policy designed for larger corporate clients, manufacturing plants, and high-value asset portfolios (typically exceeding $5 million in total insured value).
Financial & Management Risks
These policies may help businesses
and their directors manage the financial consequences of certain management, regulatory and employment-related claims.
Management Liability Insurance:
May provide cover for a range of management and governance-related exposures
faced by private companies and their directors. Depending on the policy, cover may extend to defence costs and certain employment practices, crime and regulatory
exposures, subject to applicable laws.
Directors & Officers (D&O) Liability:
Commonly considered by company
directors, officers and senior executives. May provide cover for directors and officers facing certain allegations of wrongful acts, mismanagement or
breaches of duty
Tax Audit Cover:
Tax Audit Cover may reimburse certain professional fees incurred in responding to eligible audits, reviews or
investigations by the Australian Taxation Office and other government revenue authorities.
Specialised Operational Covers
Modern businesses rely on complex technology and global supply chains. These niche protections cover the specific day-to-day mechanisms that keep your doors open.
Cyber Liability Insurance:
With mandatory data breach reporting laws in Australia, Cyber Insurance is no longer optional. It provides critical protection against ransomware attacks and hacking, covering IT forensic costs, data recovery, business interruption, and third-party privacy claims.
Machinery Breakdown:
Covers the sudden and unforeseen mechanical or electrical failure of essential equipment—such as commercial refrigeration for cafes, or CNC machines for manufacturers. Crucially, it can also cover the resulting loss of spoiled stock.
Marine & Transit Insurance:
Protects the value of your goods, stock, or raw materials against damage, loss, or theft while in transit. This covers movement by road, rail, air, or sea, both domestically within Australia and globally for importers/exporters.
Employee & People-Related Cover
Your team is your most valuable asset. We help you navigate the complexities of statutory requirements and provide safety nets for your key personnel.
Workers' Compensation:
Mandatory statutory cover for employee workplace injuries. NCB Advantage: We have established trusted relationships with key insurance providers to help minimize your long-term premiums
Personal Accident & Illness:
Because sole traders and partners are often excluded from Workers' Compensation, this policy provides crucial weekly income replacement if you are injured or fall seriously ill and cannot work.
Corporate Travel Insurance:
Medical, evacuation, and transit cover for executives and staff traveling domestically or internationally for business purposes, reducing the liability of the employer.
Specialised Industry Cover
If your business operates in a high-hazard environment, standard "off-the-shelf" policies will not suffice.
Hard-to-Place Risks:
Utilising our Steadfast Network strength and direct access to international markets (including Lloyd's of London), we secure bespoke capacity for complex industries. This includes heavy manufacturing, hazardous chemical storage, aviation, specialised agriculture, and high-risk contracting.
Discuss Your Specific Risks With an Expert
We build custom insurance packages for highly specialised operations every day. Contact our Penrith-based brokers to discuss your unique activities and secure the right cover.
While not strictly mandated by law for every single business, it is practically required. Most commercial landlords, government contracts, and construction sites will require a Certificate of Currency proving you hold at least $10M–$20M in Public Liability cover before you can operate.
Public Liability covers physical risks (someone trips and falls in your shop). Professional Indemnity covers financial risks (your architectural design has a flaw that costs a client money to fix).
Yes. If you collect customer data, process payments online, or rely on IT systems to operate, you are a target. Cyber insurance covers IT forensic costs, ransom negotiations, and business downtime.
Buying direct online often results in generic, "off-the-shelf" policies that can leave dangerous coverage gaps. Using a broker ensures your policy is customized to your specific risks. Furthermore, as an NCB client, you have a dedicated advocate who manages the entire claims process on your behalf, rather than dealing with an offshore call center.
Generally, no. Most standard Public Liability policies only cover your direct employees; sub-contractors are usually required to hold their own insurance. It is critical to review your contractor agreements, and we can help structure your policy to ensure you aren't left exposed by the people you hire on-site.
No. Public Liability only covers third parties (such as customers, clients, or the general public). To cover your employees for workplace injuries or illnesses, you are legally required to hold a separate Workers' Compensation policy (managed through iCare in NSW).
There is no flat rate for business insurance; premiums are calculated based on your unique risk profile. Insurers look at factors including your specific industry, annual turnover, physical location, number of staff, and previous claims history. As brokers, we canvas the market to find the most competitive premium without sacrificing essential coverage.
You should undergo a full risk review annually before your policy renews. However, you should also contact your broker immediately if your business undergoes major changes—such as moving premises, buying expensive new equipment, significantly increasing revenue, or expanding your services—to avoid being underinsured.
A Certificate of Currency is a legal document proving your insurance policy is active and valid. It is frequently required to enter construction sites, secure government tenders, or sign commercial leases. As your broker, NCB can issue your CoC promptly so you never face delays getting to work.
