How to use Hippo’s Business Insurance quote platform

How to use Hippo’s Business Insurance quote platform (but with pictures):  

Step 1:     

Visit us at https://www.hippo.co.za/business-insurance-quote/ and click “Get started”  

Step 2:  

 First things first - let’s get to know your business.  

Step 3:  

Why? Because when we understand what you do, we can connect you with insurers who understand your industry (and its risks) too.  

Step 4: 

Big business needs big insurance. Understanding how much your assets are worth (even if it's a ballpark figure) helps us to match you with insurers that can provide the right level of cover for your business.  

Step 5: 

If your fleet is important to you, we need to know about it. Let’s make sure we connect you with insurers that can provide you with the right cover for fleet and commercial vehicles.  

Step 6: 

Professional liability cover steps in when it's your advice, expertise, or work that lands you in hot water, whether that’s through a missed detail, a wrong recommendation or a client that’s convinced your slip-up cost them money. It handles the legal fees and claims that follow, so an honest mistake doesn't end up haunting your bank account. 

Step 7: 

Public liability cover has your back when your business accidentally causes injury or damage to someone else - like a customer slipping on your freshly mopped floor, or your ladder redecorating a client's car. It picks up the legal and compensation costs, so one unlucky "oops" doesn't turn into a very expensive lesson. 

Step 8: 

 We know you’re working hard, so we won’t call unless absolutely necessary - promise. 

Step 9: 

Fill in your contact details so that we can get in touch with you. Wait - did they just populate automatically? Don’t worry, that probably just means you’ve quoted with us before. We will have masked your details to keep them safe.   

And that's the whole story, really. In a couple of minutes you'll have a clear side-by-side view of who's offering you the better deal.  

So next time you're in the market for Business Insurance, or you just fancy checking whether you've been overpaying, you know where to find us.
