Tasmania boasts almost 40,000 businesses, 95% of which are classified as small companies. Tasmanian firms employ approximately 100,000 Tasmanians across an array of industries, including agriculture, fishing and forestry, tourism, health and social care, retail and education and training. If you run a business in Tasmania, it’s crucial to make sure that you are aware of the regulations related to public liability insurance. This form of insurance is a key cover for home business owners, small company directors and sole traders.
Whether you are self-employed, you run a small business or you are a sole trader or a contractor, it’s important to understand the benefits of investing in public liability insurance. Public liability insurance provides robust protection against third-party injuries and damages and product liability cover, and it can provide a cushion for companies and individuals who may find themselves facing legal action. If a customer sustains an injury on your premises, for example, they may decide to pursue a claim. If you have public liability insurance, you may be covered. Without this policy, there is every chance that small businesses would go under.
