ACC Services

The Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) is essentially a tax-payer funded insurer that provides comprehensive, no-fault personal injury cover for all New Zealand residents and visitors to New Zealand.  Businesses contribute funds (called levies) based on wage costs, the type of insurance policy (cover) and the type of industry (classification).  

As a significant and mandatory cost to running your business, it is important to get the right advice and support. Reduce stress and save time by ensuring your industry classification is correct and up-to-date by speaking to our ACC specialist. Get peace of mind by knowing you have the right type of cover for your business and your employees, whilst saving money by ensuring your ACC cover doesn’t overlap with existing insurance cover.

ACC CoverPlus Extra is a great option for business owners who are self-employed.
