Core Commercial Cover
Commercial Property Insurance
Cover for your business premises, buildings, equipment, machinery, stock, and physical assets against fire, theft, storm, accidental damage, and other insured events. We ensure your business property values are correctly assessed so underinsurance doesn’t become a problem at claim time.
Business Interruption Insurance
When an insured event disrupts your operations, business interruption cover protects your income. We help you quantify the correct indemnity period and gross profit figure — a calculation that many businesses get dangerously wrong without proper advice.
Public & General Liability
Essential protection if your business causes injury to a third party or damage to their property. We assess your actual liability exposure — foot traffic, product distribution, public-facing operations — and ensure your limit of indemnity is adequate.
Professional Indemnity Insurance
For businesses that provide advice, professional services, or specialist expertise — including consultants, engineers, accountants, healthcare practitioners, and legal professionals — professional indemnity cover protects you against claims of negligence, error, or omission.
Cyber & Technology Risk Insurance
Cyber threats are one of the fastest-growing risks for South African businesses. We help you secure cover for data breaches, ransomware attacks, business interruption from system failures, regulatory investigation costs, and third-party liability arising from cyber incidents.
Commercial Motor & Fleet Insurance
Cover for company-owned vehicles, delivery fleets, trucks, and commercial vehicles. We structure fleet policies that provide the right level of protection across all vehicles, including driver risk management where applicable.
Employer’s Liability & Group Personal Accident
Protect your business and your people. We assist with employer’s liability cover, group personal accident, and other workforce protection solutions that support employee welfare and reduce your liability exposure.
Why Choose O2 Brokers for Your Business?
True Independence & Unbiased Advice
We are completely independent of any single insurance company. We have relationships across South Africa’s leading corporate insurers, niche underwriters, and specialist binder holders, meaning our loyalty lies entirely with you, the client.
Deep Commercial & Industrial Expertise
Commercial insurance is complex. We don’t believe in generic, off-the-shelf policies. Our brokers understand the operational realities of different industries — from manufacturing and mining to logistics and professional services.
Proactive Risk Management
The cheapest insurance is the claim you never have to make. We work with you to identify, mitigate, and manage risks within your business operations, which often helps secure more favorable premium rates from underwriters.
Dedicated Claims Advocacy
When disaster strikes, you shouldn’t have to fight an insurance company alone. We manage your claims process from start to finish, acting as your aggressive advocate to ensure settlements are handled fairly, accurately, and quickly.
Our Process
01
In-Depth
Risk
Assessment
We gather detailed information about your operations, contracts, regulatory obligations, and existing cover — mapping your full exposure before approaching any market.
02
Bespoke
Policy Structure
We don’t force your risk into a standard wording. Where necessary, we negotiate policy extensions, manuscript wordings, and bespoke conditions to make sure your cover reflects the actual risk you carry.
03
Specialist Market Placement
We approach relevant specialist underwriters and underwriting managers, present your risk professionally, and negotiate the most appropriate terms and conditions available.
04
Ongoing Monitoring
& Review
Specialist risks evolve. We monitor your cover, review it regularly, and recommend adjustments as your business, projects, or asset base change.
