Part Two – Insurance Policies Tradies Need to Have

Series: Everything You Need to Know About Insurance

Guest: Jeremy Andison of Intertrade Insurance Solutions

Let’s talk about insurance and trades paperwork: many of us think that we have the right policies. But in reality, we don’t. Insurance is critical not only in protecting your life and physical self but also in guarding your business.

Life insurance and income protection insurance tend to get overlooked because they sound quite boring. In this podcast, we want to make sure that business owners learn how to protect themselves if something unfortunate does happen.

Today, Jeremy Andison of Intertrade Insurance Solutions joins us this episode. As insurance brokers, Intertrade Insurance Solutions advocates for their clients to obtain the right insurance. If a customer needs to watch a claim, the team is there to help. Jeremy will cover things like motor, public liability, tool, and general property insurance for business owners.

In this episode, we learn that Insurance brokers need to have a very detailed understanding of the client. No two clients are the same. They may have the same business and occupation, but the way they do things is very different from one another. One insurance company may seem to have the best policy, but its conditions may not apply to your business.
