NFIB meets the Australian demand for a dedicated online provider of insurance cover for franchisees, franchisors and franchised businesses.

How NFIB can help?

Franchisors are always looking to provide a value adding facility for their franchisees. Many “blue chip” franchise systems have taken advantage of the NFIB on-line insurance solution to provide this to their franchisees. When Managed Program franchisees visit our site, they will arrive at a dedicated online area with access to a compliant insurance program created specifically for their franchise business. All information about that franchise will be pre-populated. To make things even simpler, all Managed Program insurance policies have common due dates. This creates a win/win situation with NFIB assisting franchisees to save on their insurance costs and you, as the Franchisor, have one less headache when it comes to confirming that each franchisee has insurance which complies with the franchise agreement.
