Scale strong
Your business is growing. Your insurance should keep pace.
What worked at launch doesn’t work at scale. More clients, more revenue, maybe a team, your risks have evolved. Your cover needs to match where you are now, not where you were six months ago.

You're in the right place if:
1
You’re growing faster than expected (good problem, new risks).
2
You’re about to hire your first employee.
3
Your revenue has jumped and you’re wondering if your cover is still enough.
4
You’re taking on bigger clients or contracts.
What matters most right now
Adapting your cover as your business evolves.
The insurance you had at launch may no longer cover you. As you grow, your exposure increases, leading to bigger contracts, more revenue, additional employees, and more complex client relationships. Your cover needs to scale with you.
Public Liability
You probably have this, but is it enough?
If you’re working with bigger clients or higher-value projects, your $5M limit might need to be $10M or $20M. Some clients or contracts require higher limits.
Professional Indemnity
As revenue grows, so should your PI
Covers you if a client claims your advice or work caused them financial loss. Critical for consultants, designers, tradies, and anyone who provides expertise.
Workers’ Compensation
The moment you hire, this becomes mandatory
In Australia, if you have employees, you are required to have workers’ compensation. No exceptions. We’ll guide you through the setup process.
Business Property & Stock
If you’ve invested in equipment, stock, or premises
Laptops, tools, stock, shop-fitting, if losing these would hurt, insure them. This also covers theft, fire, and accidental damage.
Cyber Insurance
If you’re storing customer data or trading online
Data breaches, ransomware, system downtime, and cyber risks are real. If your business depends on tech, this is no longer optional.
What can usually wait
Key person insurance (unless your business truly depends on one individual)
Product recall cover (unless you manufacture or import goods)
Our focus: Making sure your essential cover scales with your growth, without adding unnecessary complexity.
Common questions
From business owners at this stage
How do I know if I'm underinsured?
If your revenue, client base, or team size has changed significantly since you last reviewed your policy, you’re probably underinsured.
A good rule is to review annually, or whenever something major changes.
What changes when I hire my first employee?
Two things:
- Workers’ compensation becomes mandatory
- Your public liability may need updating if employees are doing client-facing work.
We can sort both.
Can I add coverage mid-year if my business grows faster than expected?
Yes. You can adjust your policy at any time; it’s called a mid-term adjustment (MTA). Better to do it now than discover you’re uncovered when you claim.
How much does it cost to increase my coverage limits?
Less than you might think. The cost to increase your limits is usually modest compared to the additional protection you gain. We’ll give you options so you can decide what makes sense for your business.

What happens next
Once you’re launched and making sales, your needs will change. As you grow, you’ll add team members, increase revenue, and take on bigger risks. That’s when you move from Start Smart to Scale Strong.
