LOCAL EXPERTISE

Professional Indemnity insurance for Sydney businesses

Professional indemnity insurance Sydney businesses need depends on your profession, client contracts, and regulatory requirements. As a Sydney-based brokerage in Pyrmont, we help local businesses find the right PI cover without the runaround. From CBD consultants to Western Sydney real estate agents, we've got you covered.

We service businesses across Greater Sydney including the CBD, North Sydney, Parramatta, Chatswood, Pyrmont, Surry Hills, Bondi Junction, Macquarie Park, Liverpool, Bankstown, Penrith, and the Northern Beaches. Our local presence means we understand Sydney's business landscape: the industries driving the economy, the regulatory requirements, and the specific PI needs of Sydney professionals.

SYDNEY CLIENTS

Sydney businesses we've helped with PI

Real examples of how we've placed Professional Indemnity cover for Sydney-based businesses.

01 M&A advisory firm – Sydney CBD

A Sydney-based mergers and acquisitions advisory firm came to us when they were starting out. The principals had over 10 years of M&A experience and needed PI cover that reflected the high-value transactions they'd be advising on.

We placed appropriate cover through specialist financial services underwriters and have worked with them for several years as they've grown.

THE RESULT:

Long-term client relationship with PI cover that's grown alongside their business.

02 Travel tech company – Sydney HQ, expanding to US

A Sydney travel company approached us for PI cover. They offer a layby service that lets customers lock in flight prices. It's a unique business model that some insurers struggled to understand.

We found underwriters who understood their service and placed cover. As they expanded from Sydney to cover Australia-wide, and then internationally into the United States, we adjusted their PI to include the necessary territorial extensions.

THE RESULT:

PI cover that's evolved with their growth from Sydney startup to international operation.

03 Money transfer business – Sydney to international

A Sydney-based money transfer business needed PI cover that reflected their fintech operations. They started in Sydney and grew to have international operations while keeping their head office here.

Fintech PI requires underwriters who understand the regulatory environment. This includes AFSL requirements, anti-money laundering obligations, and the specific risks of financial services. We placed cover through specialist underwriters.

THE RESULT:

Appropriate PI cover for a regulated financial services business with international exposure.

04 Waterproofing consultant – hard-to-place risk

A Sydney-based waterproofing consultant came to us after being declined by multiple insurers. Waterproofing consultants are notoriously difficult to insure in Australia. The combination of construction risk and professional advice creates challenges for standard underwriters.

Being local meant we could stay in close contact throughout the process. We ultimately placed this one through Lloyd's of London via a specialist underwriting agency.

THE RESULT:

PI cover secured through Lloyd's of London for a risk the local market wouldn't touch.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Professional Indemnity insurance questions from Sydney businesses

01 Do Sydney businesses need Professional Indemnity insurance?

Many Sydney professionals require PI insurance by law or industry regulation. This includes accountants, financial advisers, mortgage brokers, real estate agents, and engineers. Even if it's not mandatory for your profession, most commercial clients and government contracts require proof of PI cover before you can tender or sign.

02 How much does Professional Indemnity insurance cost in Sydney?

Premiums depend on your profession, revenue, claims history, and the limit of indemnity you need. A sole trader consultant might pay $500–$1,500 per year. Financial services firms, mortgage brokers, and businesses with international exposure typically pay more. We compare quotes across 50+ insurers so you're not overpaying.

03 Can you insure Sydney businesses expanding internationally?

Yes. We've helped several Sydney-based businesses secure PI cover with international extensions. This includes a money transfer business that expanded from Sydney to overseas markets, and a travel company that grew into the US market. International PI placement requires specialist underwriters, and we have access to Lloyd's of London for these risks.

04 What's the difference between PI and Public Liability insurance?

Professional Indemnity covers financial loss caused by your advice or professional services. This includes design errors, incorrect advice, or documentation mistakes. Public Liability covers physical injury or property damage to third parties. Most Sydney businesses need both.

05 How quickly can I get PI cover for my Sydney business?

For straightforward risks, we can often provide quotes the same day. More complex placements like fintech, M&A advisory, or businesses with international exposure may take a few days to properly market across our panel. Certificates of Currency are issued promptly once your policy is bound.

06 Can you help if my Sydney business has been declined elsewhere?

That's where we specialise. We recently helped a Sydney-based waterproofing consultant get PI cover through Lloyd's of London after being declined by multiple insurers locally. Being based in Sydney meant we could stay in close contact throughout the placement process.
