Insurance for LJ Hooker Franchise Owners

LJ Hooker have established two quality insurance schemes tailored to a Franchise Owners business. These are the LJ Hooker Professional Indemnity Insurance Scheme and the LJ Hooker Office Insurance Scheme.

These insurance policies are of a high quality with competitive rates. We understand how hard you've worked to build your business, thats why we'll work just as hard to protect it.

1) LJ Hooker Professional Indemnity Insurance Scheme

Professional Indemnity Insurance

Our scheme provides your business with cover in the event of a claim of professional negligence. This is important as a franchise owner who sells their business could still be sued many years later over matters they may have been responsible for whilst in the business. Under normal circumstances, run off insurance could cost the equivalent of approximately 4-5 years of annual premiums.

Special Offer on Professional Indemnity Insurance

Professional Indemnity Insurance cover typically includes:

• Costs incurred to investigate a claim
• Legal costs incurred to defend the Insured
• Costs to dispose of a claim for which either a settlement has been reached or for which you have been found liable by the courts.

To make an enquiry about this offer or to arrange cover for your LJ Hooker Franchise, please contact your Service Team directly.

Benefits include (as an example):

• A comprehensive policy wording backed by the quality CGU Insurance
• Free 7 years run off cover for eligible insureds
• Two reinstatements of the indemnity limit
• Automatic Fidelity sub limit of $100,000
• Optional Employment Practices Liability sub limit of $500,000
