Yes. If you are newly licensed or starting your business, we can assist you with the Building Indemnity Insurance eligibility process.
We will guide you through the application requirements, which typically include:
- Financial statements and business structure
- A business plan or cash flow forecast
- A summary of your building industry experience
- Details of planned projects or contracts
Insurers are often cautious when assessing new builders, but we will work with you to ensure your application is clear, complete, and well-supported.
