Start smart. Scale strong. Stay protected.
Insurance that grows with your business.
You’re building something. Pocket helps you protect it, with straightforward cover that adapts as you grow, plain English advice, and support when you need it most.


Start smart
Pre-launch to your first year
You’re setting up, working out your needs, and trying not to overpay. You can get the essentials right from day one.
What you need: Public Liability, Professional Indemnity (if giving advice), and clear guidance on what can wait.
Scale strong
Growing fast
Revenue’s up, you’re hiring, taking on bigger contracts. Your Day 1 cover won’t protect your Year 3 business.
What changes: Coverage limits, Workers Compensation (mandatory when you hire), Business Property, Cyber risks.


Stay protected
Established and optimising
You’ve built something worth protecting. Now it’s about keeping cover relevant, competitive, and claim-ready.
What matters: Annual reviews, policy adjustments, claims support, risk management.
Why businesses choose Pocket
Most brokers either talk in jargon or race you to the cheapest quote. We’re different.
We’re built for founders who want insurance that actually makes sense.

How Pocket works

We listen first
Tell us about your business, where you are, where you’re headed, and what keeps you up at night.

We find the right fit
We work with multiple insurers, so we’re not tied to a single product, and we’ll line up options that work for your stage.

We stick with you
Insurance isn’t set-and-forget. As your business evolves, we ensure your cover keeps pace.

How pocket works for you
Most brokers either talk in jargon or race you to the cheapest quote. We’re different. We’re built for founders who want insurance that actually makes sense.
Discovery call: we start with a conversation
You’ll talk to the Pocket team, not a call centre. The conversation lasts 15-30 minutes and covers where your business is now, where you’re headed, and what concerns you.
We’ll ask about your revenue, team size, what you actually do (not just your industry code), who your clients are, and what keeps you up at night. This isn’t a sales pitch, it’s a fact-finding mission so we can line up cover that actually fits.
No pressure to buy on the call. We’ll follow up with options, explanations, and recommendations. You make the decision when you’re ready.
What happens next: Within a few days, you’ll receive 2-3 quote options, and a plain-English explanation of what each one covers (and what it doesn’t).
Plain English guidance: what you need, what you don't, and why
Insurance policies are written in legal language that even brokers find painful. We translate.
When we present options, we’ll explain what each policy actually covers in terms you’d use with a mate. We’ll also help you prioritise—because overselling you cover you don’t need isn’t how we work.
Example: If you’re a solo consultant working from home with no stock, no equipment, and no employees, we’ll tell you to skip Business Property and Workers Compensation. You need Public Liability and Professional Indemnity. That’s it. Save your money for growth.
We’ll also flag common exclusions and gotchas so there are no surprises at claim time. If something isn’t covered, we’ll tell you upfront—not six months later when you need to claim.
Flexible options: cover that fits today and adapts as you grow
We work with multiple insurers, so we’re not locked into one product. That means we can find cover that fits your actual situation—stage, industry, budget, risk profile.
If your business changes mid-year (you hire, sign a big contract, add a new service), you don’t have to wait until renewal. We adjust your policy as you go. It’s called a mid-term adjustment (MTA), and it takes a few days, not weeks.
This matters because: Most founders set up insurance at launch and don’t touch it for years. Then they discover at claim time that their Day 1 cover doesn’t protect their Year 3 business. We prevent that.
We’ll also bundle policies where it makes sense to save you money, but we won’t force a “business pack” if individual policies are a better fit.
Proactive reviews: regular check-ins to keep your cover relevant
Insurance isn’t set-and-forget. Your business evolves, and your cover should too.
Every year (ideally 30-60 days before renewal), Sam will reach out to review your policy. We’ll check if your limits are still right, if your activities have changed, if you’ve hired or moved premises, and whether your premium is still competitive.
We also reach out mid-year if: You’ve mentioned a major change (hiring, new location, pivot), we’ve seen a claims trend in your industry, or market rates have shifted and we can save you money by switching insurers.
You’re never left wondering if you’re covered. If something changes on your end, you tell us. If something changes on the insurance side, we tell you.
What gets reviewed: Coverage limits, policy scope, employee count, asset values, exclusions, premium competitiveness, and any incidents or near-misses from the past year.
Claims advocacy: we handle insurers so you can focus on your business
When something goes wrong, you don’t deal with insurers directly—we do.
The moment you notify us of a potential claim, we take over. We’ll walk you through what documentation you need, formally lodge the claim with the insurer, chase responses, negotiate on your behalf, and keep you updated throughout.
Timeline expectations:
- Within 24 hours: We acknowledge your claim and provide initial guidance
- Within 3-5 days: Insurer formally acknowledges and assigns a claims handler
- Assessment begins (loss adjuster, documentation review). Timelines depend on the complexity of the claim and your scenario.
- Settlement timeframe: depends on the complexity of the claim.
If the insurer denies your claim and we think it’s unfair, we’ll dispute it on your behalf. If that fails, we’ll guide you through escalation to AFCA (Australian Financial Complaints Authority), a free independent dispute service.
What this means in practice: You deal with one person from our team (Sam), not three different insurer departments. You get plain-English updates, not policy jargon. And if the insurer is dragging their feet, we chase them—not you.
