Why do IT professionals need insurance?
A lot can go wrong when you’re programming, coding, testing, debugging or doing other techy stuff. Mistakes in your work, property damage, broken equipment and lawsuits are just a few of the risks that insurance for IT contractors could help you manage.
Did you know?
The nature of work undertaken by some IT professionals means the difference between a public or professional indemnity claim can be difficult to determine. BizCover offers a liability package with combined Professional Indemnity and Public Liability insurance from the same insurer. That way, there can be no dispute between insurers as to which policy should respond to a claim.

Brilliant. It was so easy to get this done and it was the lowest quote. I spent a whole day getting multiple quotes but bizcover found the best one for me!

Great service. It beats to rigmarole I’ve had to go through previously. Business insurance used to be hard to find.

Excellent service and price. It took me 10 minutes to finalise my PIPL insurance policy. The lowest price in the market. Very happy 🙂

Hard to believe how easy it was to get a quote and even purchase the policy. The cost was less than half of the best price my previous broker could provide for the same cover.
