Worked Quotes and Buying Checklists

Step-by-step comparisons of liability quotes, limit and deductible choices, and checklists for proposal forms and contracts.

The lowest liability premium is often the one with the smallest limit, the highest deductible or the narrowest wording. This group shows how to line up two or three quotes so you compare the same thing, with the rupee arithmetic shown at each step.

Begin with the liability insurance buying checklist, which runs from describing your business accurately to checking the policy schedule once it arrives. The other guides each take one decision: comparing quotes on total cost, choosing the any-one-accident (AOA) and any-one-year (AOY) limits, choosing a deductible, filling in the proposal form, meeting the insurance clauses in client contracts and tenders, and buying professional indemnity and directors' and officers' (D&O) cover.

The liability quote comparison tool tests up to three quotes against a claim you define, the GST calculator separates GST from a tax-inclusive premium, and the turnover-based premium estimator gives a rough range to sanity-check quotes. All figures in the worked examples are illustrative.
