One of the primary characteristics of this sort of company, which this one has, is the creation of insurance packages that suit all sectors of the community, especially the previously disadvantaged communities, in line with black empowerment principles. The overall idea is to provide insurance to those sectors of the community that have in the past not had access to insurance for one reason of another - be that risk profile or affordability.

Lion of Africa was established collaboratively by financial powerhouse Santam Limited, Commlife Holdings and listed empowerment company, Brimstone Investment Corporation.

Having achieved an "A" rating from the Global Credit Rating agency for its risk profile and ability to pay claims, Lion of Africa has firmly established itself in its market and is has the highest rating of any South African short-term insurance company that is wholly run on black empowerment priniciples.

A nationally based operation, with offices in all the major centres, the company is able to offer a selection products to a variety of business types - be that commercial businesses, large corporations and parastatals - as well as to individual clients. The head office, situated in Johannesburg looks after all the administrative functions, plus underwriting and analytics. This leaves the regional branches free to focus on servicing clients and selling and marketing the insurance products.

Corporate products on offer include a range of cover options, with products like liability insurance, business interruption protection, and fire and theft cover. There are also products aimed at specific industries, especially the engineering and marine industries. Comprehensive cover is also available for the commercial sector in general. Individual personal insurance is also available - specifically household insurance and personal liability insurance. These products can be individually tailored to suit specific needs.
