FAQ

Business insurance questions

What's the cheapest business insurance in South Africa?
Cost varies by business type, location, turnover, and risk profile. A small service business may pay far less than a manufacturing operation. Compare quotes from multiple insurers to find the best rate for your specific needs.
Do I need insurance if I work from home?
Yes. Your personal home policy likely excludes business use. Even a home-based freelance or consulting business should have public liability and professional indemnity cover to protect against client claims and legal liability.
Can I use my personal car insurance for business deliveries?
No. Personal car insurance typically excludes business use. If you use your vehicle for business, you need commercial vehicle cover. Check your policy or contact your insurer to avoid being uninsured when it matters.
