Why are we here?
We started our business in Victoria in 1992, servicing people in the Dandenong ranges before expanding Australia-wide. Our experience tells us that business clients demand personalised service above all and insist on dealing with a broker that understands their business and insurance needs.
This in turn leads to more than a great business relationship, fulfilling our aim to become business partners with our clients for life.
Building local networks, no matter where your business is.
We strive to ensure that our client requirements and expectations are met in respect of premiums, coverages and funding options. That becomes our commitment. No matter where you are, we will be there to listen to your concerns. We take the time to assess your individual circumstances to ensure our client’s expectations are met concerning risk management, appropriate cover, and relevant prices. We go above and beyond to make your experience easy.
How do we deliver our services?
Personalised Services
All enquiries are answered by a “real person”, not a number/ answering machine or from overseas… all calls, claims and enquiries are handled by our experienced team of specialists here in Australia.
We tailor our insurance policies to suit your business needs. We take time with you to understand your business and assess your risks. If it requires us to be there, we will be at your premises. Our aim is to ensure you will receive the correct cover for your business needs.
Always be connected
We offer a 24/7 service Australia-wide with one phone call, no matter what hour of the day.
We keep you informed with the latest industry updates.
