Business & Commercial Insurance Broker: Expert Risk Strategies for Australian Enterprises
Running a business in Australia is a high-stakes balancing act. Between managing cash flow, staff, and operations, the last thing you need is a blind spot in your protection. At Assurance Life Pro, we don’t believe in “set and forget” policies. As your dedicated Business & Commercial Insurance broker, we act as your strategic partner, designing a defensive wall around your hard-earned assets.
Whether you are a sole trader with a ute, a growing tech start-up, or a multinational logistics operator, risk does not discriminate. We provide the expertise, market access, and advocacy required to ensure that when the unexpected happens, your business keeps moving.
More Than Just a Policy: The Business Insurance Brokerage Advantage
Many business owners make the mistake of buying off-the-shelf policies online, only to find out at claim time that they are critically underinsured. A generic policy cannot understand the nuances of your specific industry.
Our business insurance brokerage is built on a foundation of deep risk analysis. We don’t work for the insurers; we work for you. We dissect your operations to identify liabilities you might not see—from cyber threats to supply chain interruptions—and negotiate with over 100 underwriters to build a program that fits your specific risk profile.
Tailored Solutions for Every Stage of Business
No two businesses are alike. We segment our services to ensure you get the right advice, whether you are just starting out or preparing for an IPO.
Small Business Insurance Quotes & Packages
For trades, retail shops, and office-based SMEs, speed and simplicity are key—but not at the expense of quality. You need coverage that ticks the contractual boxes without blowing the budget. We provide tailored small business insurance quotes that bundle your essentials—such as Property, Theft, Glass, and General Property—into one seamless “BizPack.” We do the market comparison for you, finding the sweet spot between premium savings and robust inclusion.
Public Liability Insurance Broker Services
In today’s litigious environment, a single slip-and-fall claim or accidental damage to third-party property can bankrupt a small company. Public Liability is the cornerstone of any business defence. As your specialist Public liability insurance broker, we ensure your limits are adequate for your industry standards (typically $10M or $20M) and that your policy definition properly covers your specific business activities, including work done by subcontractors.
Professional Indemnity Broker Advice
If your business provides advice, design, or consultancy services, you are exposed to allegations of negligence or breach of duty. A standard liability policy won’t cover this. Our Professional indemnity broker team works with accountants, architects, consultants, and medical professionals to secure cover that protects your reputation and financial assets against claims of financial loss caused by your advice.
Heavy Industry & Logistics Solutions
For businesses that move, build, and transport, the risks are physical and high-value. We offer specialised brokerage for the “heavy” end of town.
Commercial Truck Insurance Broker
If your wheels stop turning, your revenue stops flowing. Whether you operate a single prime mover, a rigid truck, or a national heavy haulage fleet, you need a Commercial truck insurance broker who understands the transport industry. We go beyond simple collision cover to look at downtime coverage, towing costs, and dangerous goods liability, ensuring your fleet is protected against the unique risks of Australian roads.
Marine Cargo Insurance Broker
Your responsibility doesn’t end when goods leave your warehouse. Global supply chains are volatile, and freight is vulnerable to theft, damage, and loss during transit. Our Marine cargo insurance broker services cover your goods by land, sea, or air. From single-transit policies for one-off imports to annual open declaration policies for high-volume exporters, we ensure your inventory is covered from door to door.
Complex Corporate Risk & Commercial Insurance
For larger organisations, risk management requires a sophisticated approach. As a Commercial insurance broker for the mid-market and corporate sector, we handle high-complexity placements including Industrial Special Risks (ISR), Management Liability (D&O), and Cyber protection. We leverage our network strength to access international markets for hard-to-place risks, ensuring your board and shareholders have confidence in your risk transfer strategy.

FAQs on Business & Commercial Insurance Broker
Why should I use a broker instead of buying directly from an insurer?
Direct insurers usually offer generic, "one-size-fits-all" policies with no advice. If you click the wrong box, you might not be covered. As a Business insurance brokerage, we assess your specific risks and advise you on the correct cover. Crucially, we act as your advocate during a claim, using our industry knowledge to negotiate better outcomes with the insurer, whereas a direct insurer represents their own shareholders.
What is the difference between Public Liability and Professional Indemnity?
This is a common confusion. Public liability insurance broker services cover you for physical damage or injury you cause to a third party (e.g., a customer trips in your shop). Professional indemnity broker services cover you for financial loss caused to a client due to your professional advice or service (e.g., an accountant makes a tax error). Most consultants need both.
Can you help with hard-to-place risks like hazardous goods transport?
Yes. This is where a Commercial insurance broker shines. While online forms will decline "high risk" activities, we have access to specialist underwriting agencies and the Lloyd's of London market. Whether it is hazardous materials, heavy fleet via our Commercial truck insurance broker service, or complex construction, we can usually find a solution.
How quickly can I get a quote for my small business?
For standard trades and office businesses, we can often provide small business insurance quotes within 24 hours (or even the same day). For more complex risks like Marine Cargo or Industrial Special Risks, it may take longer as we negotiate tailored terms with underwriters to get you the best deal.
Do you handle Marine Insurance for importers?
Absolutely. Our Marine cargo insurance broker team can arrange policies that cover imports, exports, and inland transit. We can advise on "Incoterms" to ensure you know exactly where your liability begins and ends during the shipping process.
