The Hidden Gaps in Standard ACC Cover
Most self-employed people in New Zealand are automatically placed on standard ACC CoverPlus. If that is you, your business is exposed to two major financial risks:
The Illness Blind Spot: ACC only covers you for accidents. If a sudden illness, medical event, or serious health struggle keeps you away from your business, ACC pays out exactly $0.
The Financial Audit Nightmare: If you do have an accident, you must prove your exact loss of earnings using your latest tax returns before getting a pay out. If your business financials are complex or fluctuate, your cash flow can stall for months.
How Andre Fixes It: ACC CoverPlus Extra (CPX)
Guaranteed Payouts: We lock in a pre-agreed weekly cover amount with ACC. If you claim, you get paid immediately—no financial proof required.
True Income Protection: We offset your standard ACC levies and use those direct savings to fund private Income Protection, ensuring you are fully covered for both accidents and illnesses.
Cost Neutrality: We frequently achieve a structure that gives you vastly superior, airtight cover for the same price (or less) than what you are currently paying blindly in levies.
Comprehensive Business Risk Protection
Once your personal income is safe, Andre can help you protect the wider business structure from financial disruption if unexpected events affect the people who keep it running. For many businesses, the biggest risk is not buildings or equipment — it’s the loss of key people whose knowledge, skills, or leadership are essential to operations.
Business Expenses Cover
Business expenses insurance helps cover ongoing operating costs if a business owner is unable to work due to illness or injury. This type of cover helps keep the business operating while you focus on recovery, covering fixed costs such as:
- Rent or mortgage payments on commercial premises
- Utilities and fixed operating expenses
- Essential employee wages
Key Person Protection
Key person insurance protects a business if an important employee or owner becomes unable to work due to illness, injury, or death. This cover can help businesses manage loss of revenue, recruitment and training costs, financial commitments, and general disruption to operations. The policy is owned by the business and the benefit is paid to the business.
Business Continuity Insurance
Business continuity insurance helps protect businesses that have multiple owners or shareholders. If a business partner dies or becomes permanently disabled, this cover can help ensure the remaining owners have the financial ability to purchase the affected owner’s share of the business. This helps maintain stability and protects both the business and the families involved.
Business Insurance for Start-Ups
New businesses often face greater financial pressure during their early years. Insurance solutions can help protect business owners if illness or injury affects their ability to work while the business is still establishing itself. Start-up businesses benefit immensely from reviewing their risk protection early.
Rural Business Insurance NZ
Rural businesses face unique risks, including a heavy reliance on key individuals and highly seasonal income. Andre can help structure options to protect farm operations, business income, and the key people involved in running the property.
