New Insurance Website

New Insurance Website Delivers Big Savings for Small Business

Time to Go Online and Get Control of Your Business Insurance

Auckland, New Zealand – 11th January 2018.

Insure Online Limited is excited to launch its industry-changing website that allows small business owners to buy, manage and renew business insurance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Insurance industry research shows that small business owners struggle to see what value a traditional insurance broker brings. Brokers’ service is characterised by messy forms, antiquated processes and delayed response times. Added to this are limited product offerings, a lack of comparison quotes and rarely any transparency around charges, such as substantial commission, volume sales bonuses and high policy fees.

The launch of Insure Online’s new automated service is a response to the demand for a more transparent and simpler way to buy business insurance. Time-stricken small business owners can do their own research, get quotes and buy insurance efficiently. Insure Online provides access on weekends and after hours to a website they can trust.

Statistics back up the trend towards online. 75% of New Zealanders purchase insurance through a traditional intermediary who uses paper, mail and telephone. By comparison, only 31% of Australian businesses exclusively use traditional brokers. 27% of Australian businesses are now buying insurance online. To date, New Zealand’s business owners have been held back by the lack of internet options. This is about to change with the arrival of Insure Online.
