- Loss of profit and staff wages, including Loss of Attraction following damage to businesses within 2.5 kms

Franchise fee cover is available as an optional extra.
About Crombie Lockwood
As an insurance expert, a Crombie Lockwood broker helps you make smart choices about your insurances. Your broker works for you, not the insurer, to ensure you have the right insurance cover for your business and stay well covered as your needs change.
If you need to make a claim, your broker will support you through the process and advocate on your behalf for a fair result.
Crombie Lockwood can also offer other insurance-related services such as a pay monthly service to spread premium payments across the year, helping with budgeting.
Founded in Napier in 1978, Crombie Lockwood has become one of New Zealand’s leading insurance brokers with a network of offices around the country.
