Preparing for a Strong 2025: Is Your Business Insurance Ready?

With the new year upon us, now is the perfect time to evaluate your business insurance and ensure it aligns with your evolving needs. Changes in operations, growth, and external factors may mean your 2024 coverage no longer provides adequate protection.

As your trusted insurance adviser, we’re here to help you identify gaps, adjust your policies, and safeguard your business for a successful year ahead. Here’s how to get started:

Annual Insurance Review for Civil and Earthmoving Businesses

A yearly review ensures your coverage keeps pace with changes such as:

• New projects, contracts, or sites
• Compliance with regulatory updates, including local council and government requirements
• Fleet expansion or changes in equipment usage
• Introduction of new contractors or subcontractors
• Adoption of technology solutions like GPS tracking or telematics
• Environmental challenges, such as flood zones or bushfire-prone areas
• Updates to workplace safety procedures or role changes

Outdated policies can leave your business exposed to unnecessary risks.

Update Coverage for Business Growth

Expansion in the civil and earthmoving industry brings unique risks that require tailored coverage:

• Plant & Equipment: Protect against damage, theft, and breakdowns of machinery essential to your operations.
• Liability Insurance: Adjust public liability, professional indemnity, contractual liability to reflect new contracts and project scales.
• Business Interruption: Safeguard against downtime caused by breakdown, damage to property and assets.
• Transit Insurance: Ensure materials, tools, and equipment are covered during transportation and removal of debris resulting from an accident.

Prioritise Cybersecurity Coverage

As civil and earthmoving businesses increasingly rely on digital tools for fleet management and project planning, the risk of cyber threats rises. Cyber insurance can provide protection for:

• Breach response and data restoration
• Ransomware attacks and extortion costs
• Legal compliance and crisis management

Prepare for Natural Disasters

With the growing impact of extreme weather events, ensure your insurance includes:

• Coverage for property damage to depots and work sites
• Protection for machinery and fleet against natural disasters
• Business continuity insurance to reduce downtime and protect revenue
