Good relationships start with good conversations. 💛

A big part of what we value at YIB is taking the time to listen, understand and be there for the people we work with.

R U OK? Day is a good reminder that the same simple approach matters outside the office too. A genuine question, an open mind and a little time to listen can mean more than we realise.

So today, check in with someone you care about. Ask the question, listen to the answer and let them know you’re there.

Sometimes, it’s the simplest conversations that matter most.

One shot from halfway. $10,000 on the line. No pressure. 😅🏐

We were proud to sponsor the $10,000 halfway shot at Sunshine Coast Thunder’s final home game of the season.

It was a brilliant afternoon and a great reminder of the energy local sport brings to the Sunshine Coast. We’re always proud to get behind our local teams and the people who make days like this possible.

Thanks to the Sunshine Coast Thunder team for having us. 💙

The “Iceberg” Reality of Working with a Broker

Most people think insurance brokers simply arrange policies.

That's the part you can see.

Like an iceberg, the policy is just the tip above the water. Beneath the surface is where the real work happens:

👉 Understanding your business and the risks you face
👉 Navigating an increasingly complex insurance market
👉 Negotiating coverage terms, not just premiums
👉 Identifying potential gaps before they become costly problems
👉 Building strong relationships with insurers
👉 Supporting and advocating for you when a claim arises

The truth is, much of the value a broker provides happens long before a policy is issued and long before a claim is made.

It's the work behind the scenes that helps ensure you're protected when it matters most.

Very well worth the read, small businesses take the risks, support Australia and the bulk of the employees and their families. It’s an enormous responsibility we all bear….

Imagine building a business in Australia today…

You take all the risk.
You sign the loans.
You employ the staff.
You invest in growing your skills.
You carry the stress.
You work the weekends.
You miss time with your family.

You survive rising wages, insurance, super, interest rates and supplier increases.

Then just as you finally start getting ahead…

The Government decides they deserve almost half.

At the same time, Australians are being told changes to Capital Gains Tax are “necessary”…

Including changes that could seriously impact business owners planning to eventually sell the business they spent decades building.

Yet millions of taxpayer dollars are being handed to international investors to reduce THEIR red tape, so they can invest in Australia (yes, you read that correctly).

And somehow, $5.3 million of taxpayer money ends up going to the CFMEU.

Meanwhile, small business owners get:
✅ More compliance
✅ More reporting
✅ More paperwork
✅ More payroll pressure
✅ More red tape

And from 1 July 2026, lawyers, accountants, conveyancers, real estate agents, bookkeepers, and trust/company service providers get the privilege of implementing new Anti-Money Laundering legislation too.

More identity checks.
More administration.
More government process.

Because clearly businesses weren’t already stretched enough.

The frustrating part?

The politicians making these decisions have never built a business themselves….

Never worried about making payroll.
Never risked their house.
Never managed cashflow during tough months.
Never taken a risk on backing themselves.

And judging by many of the policies being rolled out lately, there’s little evidence some truly understand trusts, small business structures, how Australian entrepreneurs operate, or even the difference between gross and net expenditure.

Small and medium businesses are the backbone of the Australian economy.

They employ over 8.5 million Australians.
They create opportunities.
They take the risks others won’t.

And despite all the pressure, Australian business owners still keep showing up every day, backing themselves, employing people, supporting communities and building something bigger than themselves.

Imagine what small and medium business could achieve if governments actually backed us too.

From the YIB Team, we hope you all enjoy a wonderful Mother’s Day, we are very proud to be a family based business, work most definitely comes second. Mums sure deserve to be appreciated all the time, just one special day that little bit extra, don’t miss the opportunity to show them how much. We also acknowledge the importance of the influence our mums have had on all of our team, and understand it’s a little harder for those whose mums are an incredible part of building who we now are, but are no longer here to share the love on this one special day, cherish every day. It matters. 🥰
