Why is tradesman insurance so important for tradies?

According to figures released by Macquarie Life (June 2009), manual and trade workers make up the overwhelming majority of income protection claims.

People who are self-employed, particularly in the manual trade professions, should definitely consider income protection insurance.

Most of these claims are related to musculoskeletal injuries.

Here at Trade Risk we try to make it as easy as possible for tradesmen to get their insurance sorted.

There are four main steps in our process, and we believe this is the best way of arranging insurance for a tradesman.

Step 1 - Requesting a Quote

Complete our online quote request or call us on 1800 808 800. We've spent years perfecting our form, and it allows us to get a better picture of your business without asking a million irrelevant questions.

Step 2 - Processing Your Quote

Our insurance experts at the Trade Risk office will review your quote request and utilise our direct links to Australia's major insurers to obtain quotes for you. We always try to get you the best value for your trade insurance dollar.

Step 3 - Receiving and Reviewing Your Quotes

Your quotes will be emailed to you along with some important documents. This is your chance to review the information and compare the quotes with others you may have received.

Step 4 - Proceeding With Cover

Once you have decided that Trade Risk is the best option for your insurance needs (as many tradies do every week) you can proceed with your cover via our secure online form or by calling our office direct.

But this isn't where our job finishes...

We will always be here to assist you in any way we can. Whether it's sending out a certificate of currency, or assisting you through a complex claim, we are here to help you every step of the way.
