MiWay Business Insurance

Introduction

MiWay Business Insurance is a South African direct insurer offering short-term business cover. It lets SMEs build a policy around their needs, from insuring assets and stock to liability and business interruption, dealing directly with the insurer.

Who it suits

MiWay fits an owner who prefers to arrange cover directly and wants a customisable business policy from an established local insurer.

What you get

  • Cover for business assets, stock and equipment.
  • Public and product liability options.
  • Business interruption cover to protect income after an insured event.
  • Direct-to-insurer service and claims.

Pricing

Premiums are entirely quote-based, depending on your business, its risks and the cover you choose. Get a tailored quote rather than assuming a standard cost.

Our take

MiWay is a solid direct option for business cover. Because insurance is so specific to your risks, it pays to compare a few quotes. Learn the basics of business insurance first, and see how a comparison-led option like Youinsure can help you weigh policies.
