Specialist Insurance Advisory Services

At BG Private, we have specialist experts in personal insurances. Whether you are a young professional, supporting a family or a business owner you will have financial commitments that have to be met even if you suffer an unexpected medical event.

Each client’s financial situation is different. There is no standard solution for all clients. We will work with you to assess your individual needs and the most appropriate insurance package to ensure your peace of mind.

Who we can assist

  • Homeowners. We can recommend insurance solutions that help clear your mortgage and other debts in the event you are medically unable to work.
  • Parents/spouses. We can advise on the best insurance to cover your family’s ongoing financial needs in the event of death or permanent disablement.
  • Professionals. We offer advice on the insurance cover you need to protect your income if you are unable to work in the short, medium or long term due to an accident or illness. This ensures you have the money to pay your bills and living costs while you recover.
  • Business owners who have business partners. Buy/Sell business succession insurance can provide funds to help remaining business owners buy out a deceased, permanently disabled or ill partner’s share of the business. It ensures a smooth ownership transition and protects your company’s financial stability during unexpected events.
  • Business owners with key employees. We know how important some employees can be to the ongoing success of your business. With key person insurance, you can protect your company financially if a crucial team member dies, becomes disabled or suffers a traumatic illness. This coverage can help cover potential losses, clear business debt, help maintain operations, and fund the search for a replacement.

Insurance products

We are not an insurance provider ourselves, rather we advise you on the best holistic insurance coverage for your personal or business financial situation. We work with all the major local insurers, and these are some of the insurance products we can help you with:

Life Insurance

Life insurance pays a lump sum benefit for the repayment of debt and the future financial needs of your family should you die unexpectedly or be diagnosed with a terminal illness.

Total & Permanent Disablement (TPD)

TPD pays a lump sum benefit if you are permanently unable to work due to an accident or illness. This money can be applied to debt, ongoing expenses and medical costs.

Income Protection

Should you be unable to work due to an accident or illness, Income Protection provides you with a monthly payment based on a percentage of your earnings prior to disablement until you are either able to work again or the cover expires.

Trauma Insurance

Trauma Insurance pays a lump sum benefit should you suffer one of the specified traumatic medical events (including cancer, heart attack or stroke), which can be used to cover ongoing medical expenses, debt repayment, modifications to home and/or car, or holiday expenses.

What insurance helps cover

Depending on your needs and the type of insurance coverage you get, you can be protected for the following types of things:

  • Mortgage repayment
  • Other debt repayments
  • Ongoing living expenses for you and your family
  • Covering the cost of medical expenses
  • Covering the cost of home or vehicle modifications
  • Financial protection for your business in cases where there is a partnership or key people
