About Cactus

Cactus is a game changer for Kiwi businesses, revolutionising the commercial insurance industry.

Founded in 2017, they have a mission to protect and properly cover Kiwi businesses without the inconvenience of paperwork and jargon. They understand the needs of small businesses and offer insurance packages for each industry.

With responsible advisors and partnerships with other organisations, the company goes beyond insurance by providing you with additional benefits. They’re the no-nonsense brokers who simplify the business insurance process and ensure a personalised experience.

The resounding success story of Cactus

In 2018, Cactus was launched with a focus on providing insurance for tradies, and it quickly became a resounding success. In 2019, word started spreading about the start-up, as customers were thrilled to finally have an insurer that listened to their needs.

In 2020, when the COVID pandemic hit hard, the company stood strong and supported Kiwi enterprises when they needed it the most. Despite the challenges, they expanded their team, further solidifying their position in the industry.

This insurer has a strong track record of providing reliable coverage, with a total of almost $5 million paid out in claims since 2018. Vehicle claims account for just under $2 million of those payouts, while liability claims amount to just over $500. About $1.5 million has been paid out in claims related to tools and property.

Cactus partnerships deliver accounting, loan vehicles, and more

To simplify health and safety, Cactus has joined forces with HazardCo, providing digital tools to keep your crew and business safe while cutting down on administrative time. They also offer GPS tracking and fleet management through Fleetpin, making it easy to manage teams, vehicles and assets.

For tool protection, their friends at Hoist developed a handy app that lets you record and track all your tools and find them if they go missing. Their partnership with Haven provides accounting services starting at $40. In case of a crash, Cactus alongside Acorn offer a complimentary loan vehicle for those not at fault.

When it comes to vehicle financing and leasing, this company recommends Driveline, experts in finding the best deals for tradies. For top-notch workwear, Cactus suggests checking out Syzmik, offering workwear that’s tougher and better fitting.
