Business Insurance Companies

The direct short-term insurance model in South Africa has changed the way many business insurance companies operate. By offering products directly to the public, insurers are giving clients the opportunity to compile their own insurance portfolios.

As direct insurance becomes a demand, more and more business insurance companies in South Africa are growing horizontally to offer business insurance products.

While no two businesses are identical, the insurance policies that businesses opt for may include the same cover, such as buildings, contents and vehicle cover. Direct business insurance companies in South Africa enable business owners to compile their own insurance portfolios based on only those risks relevant to their operations. Business insurance is available, either direct or through a broker, from the business insurance companies in South Africa listed below.
