Premium Cover

Insurance that pays your policy premiums if you, or a key person in your business, become disabled and are unable to work.

Why do you need Premium Cover?

If you or a key person were to become disabled and unable to contribute to the business, then business priorities would change. With the right insurance in place you shouldn’t have to tighten your purse strings too much. Premium Cover assists your business by paying for the cost of your policy for the entire time you are on claim, meaning you have one less thing to budget for. 

Premium Cover is an integral part of Monthly Disability Cover and Start-up Monthly Disability Cover, but it’s just as important to have alongside all of our other Assurance Extra Business Covers such as:

Regardless of the covers you choose, Premium Cover will pay your premium should you become disabled.
