Better Insurance Cover

Let’s talk excess 🤔

In insurance, your excess is the amount you contribute towards a claim before your insurer steps in. But did you know the amount you choose can have an impact on the price of your insurance?

💰 Higher excess = generally lower premium
💰 Lower excess = generally higher premium

But before you choose the highest excess to save a few dollars, ask yourself, “Could I comfortably afford that amount if I had to make a claim tomorrow?”

That’s where we come in! We can help you weigh up the options and find the right balance between premium, excess and the level of cover you need. ⚖️

📞 Have questions about your excess? Give us a call, we’re always happy to chat!

Rainy weather calls for coffee, a comfy chair and something good to read ☕️☔️

The latest Business Connect Magazine is out now, with some great insights and stories from our local business community.

Enjoy!

🤝 "Go in with a person, not a pitch."

In this month's Business Connect Magazine, Kylie reflects on how much the culture at Business Port Macquarie events has shifted over the years — from the awkward business-card sprint to a room where people just walk up, join a conversation, and connect like it's the easiest thing in the world.

Her advice for making the most of any networking event:
✔️ Ask before you tell — people are usually relieved to be asked instead of pitched at
✔️ Give something before you ask for anything — a recommendation, an intro, a useful bit of info
✔️ Follow up while it's still warm — a short message referencing something specific turns a chat into a real connection
✔️ If you spot someone standing on their own, be the person who walks over

It's a great reminder of what makes our local business community special — and why events like BA5 keep growing the way they do.

💻 Still wondering if Cyber Insurance is right for your business?

Cyber attacks are on the rise, but your business doesn't have to become another statistic.

📞 Reach out and we can help you explore your options and find cover that's right for your business.

31/07/2026

Did you know that Cyberattacks remain one of the biggest risks facing Australian businesses.

📊 Around 1 in 5 Australian businesses experienced a cyber security incident in the last financial year.
🚨 More than 84,000 cyber crime reports were lodged with the Australian Cyber Security Centre. That's one report every 6 minutes.
💰 The average reported cost of a cyber crime incident for a small business is around $56,600.

The good news is that the Cyber Insurance market is highly competitive, making cover more affordable than you may realise.

📞 If you're unsure whether your business has the right protection, get in touch and we can review your cover.

If someone had told me 22 years ago that I'd still be in the insurance industry today and running my own business, I probably would have laughed and said "you’re dreaming" 😆

But here I am, 22 years later... a little older, a little greyer, and somehow still talking about insurance every day!

What started as a job has turned into a career that I love! I've had the privilege of meeting some awesome people, helping amazing clients, building lifelong relationships, and now running a business that I'm incredibly proud of. ❤️

A huge thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey over the years, whether as a client, colleague, mentor, friend, or supporter. You've all played a part in getting me here. 🙌
