Three things I wish every small business owner knew about their insurance:

1️⃣ Your insurance needs to keep up with your business.

If you've grown, taken on staff, bought equipment, changed premises or started offering something new, your insurance might need to change too.

2️⃣ The cheapest policy isn't necessarily the right policy.

Price is important, but so is understanding what you're actually covered for — and what you're not.

3️⃣ Your broker isn't just there at renewal.

If something changes during the year, ask.

If you're unsure about something, ask.

If something goes wrong, call.

That's part of the service.

Running a business is complicated enough. Your insurance shouldn't add to it.

Do you actually need an insurance broker?

Honestly… it depends.

If your insurance is very straightforward and you're comfortable arranging and managing it yourself, you might not feel you need one.

But where I think a broker really adds value is helping you look at the bigger picture.

What are the actual risks in your business?
What needs protecting?
Are there gaps you haven't thought about?
Has your business changed since you last arranged your insurance?

And then, if something does go wrong, you don't have to work it all out on your own.

That's the part I really value about what I do. It's not just about getting a policy in place. It's about being there throughout the year, and especially when you need someone in your corner.

Insurance doesn't have to be complicated. 😊

This is exactly why I do what I do. ❤️

For me, insurance has always been about good advice, clear communication and being there when my clients actually need me.

Thanks so much Bruce for trusting me with your business and for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review.

Good old-fashioned service still matters.

What a fantastic few days at the Gymnastics Clubs Australia 6th Annual Congress in Newcastle!

It was a pleasure to be part of such an inspiring event, connecting with passionate club owners and industry professionals from across the country. This marks the beginning of an exciting partnership with Gymnastics Clubs Australia, and I couldn't have asked for a better introduction to the GCA community.

I'm looking forward to supporting gymnastics clubs with tailored insurance solutions and building lasting relationships along the way.

Here's to the start of something exciting! 🤸✨

If you own an investment property, manage one, or simply want to protect one of your biggest assets, the BNI Gateway Visitor Day is well worth your time.

Together they'll share practical advice on the costly mistakes they regularly see, how to avoid them, and the simple things every property owner should know before small issues become expensive ones.

Whether you're a homeowner, landlord, investor, property manager, or work within the property industry, you'll walk away with valuable insights and plenty of practical tips.

☕ Join us with coffee on us!

🚨 Three insurance mistakes I see business owners make every week.

1️. Assuming their cover automatically grows with the business.

Your business may have doubled in size since your last review, but your insurance limits may not have changed.

2️. Focusing only on premium.

The cheapest policy isn't always the best value if important covers, extensions or limits have been reduced.

3️. Only reviewing insurance at renewal time.

Major business changes can happen throughout the year. New staff, new contracts, new equipment, new locations and increased turnover can all impact your insurance needs.

Insurance works best when it evolves with your business.

Question for business owners:

When was the last time you had a comprehensive review of your insurance program?

📅 Saturday Wrap-Up

Another busy week wrapped up at ALP Insurance Advisers!

This week looked a little something like:

🤝 3 networking events:
• North Lakes Chamber of Commerce
• We Rise Women in Business
• BNI Gateway

📄 2 new policies arranged

✅ 3 client renewals completed

🏠 A property damage claim settled for $7,000

📞 Plenty of quoting, client calls, emails and claim support in between.

And outside of work? Mostly spent being a rugby league mum — running my son to training, footy photo night and cheering from the sidelines at Friday night's game. 🏉

Busy, productive, and just the way I like it!

Now to see what next week brings...

Have a great weekend everyone ☀️

Grateful for the fast delivery of delicious coffee before the weekend!

If you are a coffee drinker, I highly recommend grabbing a bag from Mini Farm Project. They are working to build farms to feed Aussies in need. Every bag sold funds 10 meals.
Choose between Beans, Ground or Pods. ☕️
