Commercial Property

Overview

At the heart of our business is a focus on the highest quality commercial risks the Caribbean has to offer, supported by a proven track record of superior loss ratios.

We specialise in light commercial and non-complex risks that are often considered too large for local carriers yet too small for Lloyd’s open market appetite. This unique positioning allows us to bridge the gap, providing brokers with a reliable, efficient, and well-capitalised solution for placements that require both local understanding and Lloyd’s level underwriting standards.

We pride ourselves on delivering exceptional service and responsiveness, ensuring brokers receive swift underwriting decisions, rapid quote turnaround, and prompt policy issuance. In addition, to our dedicated and expert-led claims service team.
