Business Insurance
Business Insurance covers all types, such as Plant and Machinery, Commercial Vehicle, Asset, the list goes on. There are also risks in your business that you may have overlooked, such as your cash flow, key people, and the business expenses that you need to pay.
There are also the risks you don’t see. You can see your business assets when you get to work, you can see your building, but you can’t see your expenses unless you are looking at your financial reports. The point is that these risks are not so “in your face”, and could cause your business to fail.
Let’s take a look at an example of how a business would be affected if the owner could not work and he is a sole trader. For this example, we will call him Bruce, and he is a 50-year-old car mechanic. He does everything in his business: he finds the clients, does the work, sends the invoices, collects payments, does the banking, G.S.T., etc.
Business Cashflow
Money is not everything, but it is certainly up there with oxygen when it comes to cash flow in a business. You can have all the best gear, building, cars etc. but cash flow is the lifeblood of the business, and all that goes out the window when the cash flow stops. Surprisingly, even the bank doesn’t like it when that stops.
Back to Bruce
Bruce loves mountain biking, and it is his weekly way of getting time out from his 70-hour workweek. But Bruce is not as young as he was. Bruce finds himself in a ditch, with his bike on top of him and a broken leg. Fortunately, he gets A.C.C., and they pay him his lost income because it was an accident.
What About His Business Expenses?
What about Bruces’ business? Who is going to pay the expenses, such as the car lease, rent on the building.
Your Business Insurance should also make provision for your business cash flow if you cannot work. It can pay for your leases, pay interest on loans, phone, power and a range of other expenses that you will still need to pay regardless of whether you are working or not, and whether or not you get anything from A.C.C.
Good Business Insurance can pay your monthly expenses, whether you are unable to work due to accident or sickness. Of course, Bruce’s’ situation would be much worse if he stopped working due to illness because there would be no accident payment from A.C.C., but there’s even an insurance to cover that.
