Services
Insurance Broking
Our insurance broking service specialises in creating customised risk management programs for medium to large corporations. We analyse organisational needs, design optimal insurance structures, and negotiate with global insurers to secure comprehensive coverage. With expertise in complex risk assessment and policy wording, our team ensures businesses receive tailored protection that aligns with their specific exposure profiles and financial objectives.
Claims Risk Management
As ASIC-licensed claims advocates, we represent clients throughout the insurance claims process. Our specialists negotiate coverage issues, prepare loss documentation, and manage settlements to maximise recoveries. By combining local market knowledge with international resources, we ensure efficient resolution of complex claims while minimising business disruption and financial impact for policyholders.
Property Surveys
Our property survey service provides detailed risk evaluations for commercial and residential properties. Qualified surveyors conduct building valuations, dilapidation reports, and due diligence assessments to ensure accurate insurance coverage. These surveys help prevent underinsurance, meet legal requirements, and support informed risk management decisions for property owners and strata corporations.
Strata Insurance
Specialist strata insurance solutions cater to residential, commercial, and community associations. We provide comprehensive coverage packages including building insurance, liability protection, and machinery breakdown for strata schemes. Our dedicated brokers work directly with strata managers and committees to secure competitive rates while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and policy conditions.
Premium Financing
Premium financing solutions enable businesses to spread insurance costs through monthly payments without traditional collateral. Using the insurance policy itself as security, this cost-effective option improves cash flow management while maintaining comprehensive coverage. Available for most business insurance types, it allows companies to reinvest capital into growth opportunities while ensuring adequate risk protection.
