Life and Health Insurance

In an uncertain and fast paced world, strategic risk management is not optional, it is a competitive advantage. Having a personal risk management plan prepared by an experienced adviser is the foundation of managing the inevitable financial risks life throws at us. Whether that is having a personal and family protection plan, or protecting your business with key person cover, it all depends on what you do now to help manage potential risks. Speak with Bryce today to explore what makes sense for you and your family.

Life Insurance

Life is filled with uncertainties, having life insurance ensures your family is protected in the event you pass away. At Long Burroughs our life insurance policies act as a financial safety net, helping to pay off potential debt including mortgages, funeral expenses and replace lost income. To provide your family with a secure future, life insurance is a vital protection measure against the impact of the unexpected.

Health Insurance

Medical cover provides faster access to specialist consultations, elective surgeries, advanced treatments, and non-Pharmac-funded options, bypassing lengthy public waitlists that can delay critical care. Our health insurance solutions are fully customized, offering comprehensive protections, ensuring you and your family receive prompt healthcare treatment.

Trauma Insurance

A serious illness or injury can turn life upside down. Trauma insurance pays a tax-free lump sum on diagnosis of covered conditions, giving you the financial breathing room to cover extra costs, pay down debt, or focus fully on recovery. Relieving families from the added worry of money.

Total & Permanent Disablement

If you're ever permanently unable to work due to serious injury or illness, this cover provides a lump-sum payment. It helps with lifestyle changes, debt reduction, and long-term security. Allowing you and your family can maintain stability and independence.

Mortgage Repayment Insurance

Your home is often one of the biggest investments you'll make. Mortgage repayment insurance helps keep your repayments covered (or paid off) if illness, injury, or redundancy gets in the way. This measure ensures mortgage payments are settled, and your home will be protected in the scenario you are unable work.

Income Protection Insurance

Ensures a financial safety net for when life takes an unexpected turn. If you can't work because of illness or injury, income protection pays a regular benefit. Typically, up to 75% of your usual earnings. It helps you keep up with bills and maintain your lifestyle while you focus on getting better.

Key Person Insurance (Key Man Cover)

Losing a key person in your business through death, illness, or disability can create real challenges. Key Person Insurance pays a lump sum to the business, helping cover lost income, recruit and train replacements, manage debt, or support ownership changes. It's a practical way to protect the value and stability of your business.

Group Life Insurance

Group life insurance provides your employees and their families with lump-sum financial protection if the worst happens. It's a straightforward, budget-friendly way to give your team extra security.

Group Health Insurance

Group health insurance helps your team get faster access to specialist care and private treatment. Quicker recoveries mean less time off work, better morale, and a stronger, more supported workplace.

KiwiSaver Advice

KiwiSaver is one of the easiest ways to build wealth for your future and retirement. We offer clear, practical advice on contributions, fund choices, employer top-ups, and how it fits with your overall goals. Whether you're planning for your family, your business, or both.

Architectural Designers Insurance

Long Burroughs, in collaboration with the Architectural Designers New Zealand (Inc), have developed a Liability Insurance solution for Architectural Designers around the country to better reflect the risks associated with architectural design.

Professional Indemnity

As an Architectural Designer you offer professional advice, so you need Professional Indemnity (PI) insurance to protect you against allegations of professional negligence. If a customer claims to have suffered financial loss due to your mistake, your PI policy will step in to help determine the best course of action.

General (Public) Liability

As a business owner, you have a legal responsibility to third parties such as your customers, suppliers and the public at large. Should you, your company, or your employees, injure a third party or damage any property belonging to them, you can be sued. General Liability Insurance will cover compensation that needs to be paid to third parties and also costs involved in investigating, negotiating or defending claims made against you.

Statutory Liability

As a business owner, Statutory Liability Insurance will cover you for unintentional breaches of all but a few select Acts of parliament. It will pay for your legal defense costs and, where legally allowable, any fines imposed upon you. Liability is strict and both fines and legal defence costs are on the increase.

Employers Liability

Commercial enterprises owe a common law duty of care, not only to external 'third parties' but also internally to their own employees. If one of your employees is injured at work, they can sue you for anything excluded by ACC. This includes mental injury without physical injury, nervous shock or fright, diseases brought on by long-term exposure and exemplary damages. Sometimes overlooked, Employers Liability should play an important part in your liability protection.
