What Happens After You Send the Form?
A broker reads your form, aims to reply within 24 hours. Nothing is arranged until you tell us to go ahead.
We aim to reply within 24 hours
A broker reads your form and calls or emails you. If the insurers will need more detail, such as how many chairs you have or whether you lease the shop, we ask you then.
We ask insurers to quote
We can approach more than 160 insurers. We send your details to the ones that suit your shop and the covers you picked.
You usually get 2 to 12 quotes, explained
Fewer insurers quote on some specialist covers. For each quote we tell you what it covers, what it leaves out and what it costs.
Nothing is arranged until you tell us to go ahead
You pick the quote you want, or none of them. We only arrange the cover with the insurer once you tell us to go ahead.
Before you start
What Do You Need for a Barbershop Insurance Quote?
You need a few details: your chairs and staff, your services, your tools, your lease and who insures you now. If you do not have one of them to hand, send the form anyway and the broker will ask for it.
How many chairs and staff you have
Tell us how many chairs you have and how many people work in the shop, including apprentices and anyone who rents a chair. If you employ staff, the law requires workers compensation, the insurance for staff hurt at work.
The services you offer
Tell us if you do straight-razor shaves, colour, or chemical work such as perms and straightening. Tell us too if you sell hair and beard products, so the quotes cover the work you really do.
What your tools are worth
Work out roughly what it would cost to replace your clippers, scissors and other tools. The amount you insure them for is based on that figure.
What your lease asks for
If you lease, check the lease for the limit your landlord wants on public liability, the insurance for a client who is hurt.
The limit is the most the policy pays on a claim, and we can arrange $5 million, $10 million or $20 million.
Who insures you now and when it renews
If you already have cover, tell us the insurer and your renewal date, the day your current policy ends. That way we can get quotes before it runs out.

Who you are dealing with
Is Barbershop Insurance a Broker or an Insurer?
Barbershop Insurance is an insurance broker and the barber arm of Grace Insurance. We get quotes and arrange your cover, and the insurer writes and issues the policy.
The insurer writes your policy
The insurer sets the policy terms, issues the policy and pays the claims it covers. We do not underwrite policies, which means we do not take on the risk of paying claims ourselves.
We help you choose and claim
We look at the risks in your shop, ask insurers to quote and help you choose. If you need to make a claim, we deal with the insurer for you.
You get our Financial Services Guide first
Before we advise you, you get the Financial Services Guide, which says who we are, how we are paid and how to complain. It comes from Community Broker Network Pty Ltd, the company whose licence we work under.
