We don’t do generic small business cover. We understand the specialised risks faced by welders and boilermakers working across high-heat industrial environments and high-risk sites.

Amazing service, efficient, reliable and most of all...stress free. Dani, you are a star, thank you so much for sorting my new policies. A very different and better experience to that had with my previous Broker. Keep up the great work.
Danielle has been an absolute blessing for us. She reached out to me after seeing a disheartened and desperate comment by me in an online group. We had desperately been searching for coverage for our dream property in Tasmania - two other brokers (including a huge company with offices all over the country) had exhausted their options and not been able to help, and settlement was looming. Danielle was professional but also very friendly, warm and reassuring during my stressing out, and I knew she was going above and beyond to get this done! She kept me in the loop every step of the way...and succeeded in getting us a policy within a matter of days! I am so, so grateful, and cannot recommend her highly enough! She is amazing at what she does and is a genuinely wonderful human too!
It was so refreshing to have someone take the time to explain the important clauses of the professional indemnity insurance. The customisation was really good. Would highly recommend.
Danielle at SOL Insurance is amazing! Was a huge support during a really busy time when our insurances had lapsed and another broker hadn’t found a suitable alternative. Dani kept on top of things and acted fast to get us cover, and with a solid price point compared to what I had found with my own enquiries. Will absolutely use Dani again having come highly recommended to us, and I’d gladly recommend SOL insurance to others.
Danielle is fantastic. Very efficient and she got me an excellent quote/insurance. I highly recommend her, if you are like me a small business that has to cover insurance.

Important: The information provided on this page is general in nature and does not take into account your individual circumstances. Insurance cover, terms, conditions and exclusions vary between insurers and policies. Your insurance requirements will depend on your business activities, contracts, assets and individual circumstances. Please refer to the relevant policy wording and documentation for full details of cover. The risks listed above are general examples only, for illustrative purposes, and do not confirm that your individual policy will respond to any particular claim.
Hot works are central to boilermaker and welder businesses, so they need to be specifically considered when arranging cover, some policies treat them differently. We’ll confirm how any policy we discuss treats open flame, grinding and cutting work, subject to policy terms, conditions and exclusions.
Working as a subcontractor on mining, power generation, construction and other high-risk sites often comes with specific insurance requirements from principal contractors and site operators. Share those requirements with us and we’ll discuss the options that may be relevant for your business.
Once your cover is in place, we can arrange certificates of currency and help match them to the insurance requirements set out by builders, principal contractors and site operators. Timeframes can vary, so talk to us early, especially before mobilising to a new site.
Subcontractor and labour-hire arrangements can change your exposure. Depending on your business, your policy structure may need to account for them, or you may need to verify their own cover. Talk to a broker about the right structure for your crew.
Tools and equipment cover can include eligible welding equipment, generators and specialised tools, including options for protection while in transit or secured on-site, subject to policy terms.
Personal Accident & Illness cover may be relevant, financial support may be available if an insured accident or illness prevents you from working, with options that can be tailored to eligible business owners and tradespeople. It is not the same as an income protection policy; we’ll explain the difference.
