Income Protection for Business Owners – Bridging the ACC Gap
As a business owner, your income and operations are critical to your success. However, if you’re injured or ill, ACC payments may not fully cover the income or business expenses you rely on.
Business Income Protection helps fill this gap, providing financial support to cover lost income and ongoing business costs when ACC compensation is insufficient or unavailable. This cover ensures your business can continue running smoothly during your recovery, helping you focus on getting back on your feet without the added stress of financial uncertainty.
It’s essential for business owners who need stability, ensuring that their operations stay afloat even when unexpected events occur.

Business Income Protection: Keeping Your Business Running, No Matter What
When unexpected events like a serious illness or injury affect a key person in your business, it can disrupt operations and strain your financial stability. Without the right insurance, the costs of maintaining business operations—such as paying employees, covering overheads, or meeting critical financial obligations—can quickly become overwhelming.
