BizCover was founded in 2008 by Michael Gottlieb, Brad Miller, and Gavin Donner after identifying that small business owners were finding it difficult to obtain suitable insurance coverage.
BizCover has since become an established company in the insurtech sector. The BizCover platform allows small business owners to compare and buy insurance policies from Australia’s major insurers through a simplified process that reduces paperwork. It serves over 6,000 professions, including yoga teachers, butchers, cleaners, and architects.
BizCover has also expanded internationally, with operations in the US and New Zealand.
