SPECIALIZED INSURANCE

OUR APPROACH

We put people first; what can we do to make this client’s business outlook better, easier and continued prospects more protected. We use this philosophy when we develop our specific offerings; our products offering are designed around our clients/brokers. We ask your broker what you need and then use our unprecedented support and technical expertise to address your needs adequately and within reasonable costs.

But what about claims?

The Moment of truth for any insurer! We have streamline our business processes to offer fast turnaround on claims. We strive to offer first class claims service through our efficiency and effectiveness in claims handling.

We are able to identify opportunities or threats to clients and, in turn, offer tailor-made solutions in order to mitigate those risks. The basis of our seamless insurance solution is that it covers all bases of insurance via a one stop shop – the client does not have to deal with a number of different insurance parties and risk gaps in cover. At SIC we provide insurance that leaves little room for doubt.
