For life and non-life cell captives, the required capital is reduced to R1m, and with cells in a microinsurance cell captive licence, it reduces even further to R250 000,\u201d said Guardrisk chief executive Herman Schoeman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis means entrepreneurs now have access to the benefits of owning, controlling and managing their own insurance facility, under the guidance of the cell captive insurer, with the economic benefits of the insurance business in the cell flowing directly to the cell owner. This while providing consumers with access to custom-designed insurance products that offer value for money, backed by a registered and financially sound insurer,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Microinsurance cell owners would also receive assistance with risk spreading through access to reinsurance markets, insurance expertise \u2013 including compliance and governance in a highly regulated environment \u2013 and skills would be transferred.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe cell captive becomes an incubator for full black ownership and upskilling,\u201d said Guardrisk executive for market development Xolani Nxanga.<\/p>\n<p>[email protected]<\/p>\n<p><b>BUSINESS REPORT<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
