Colina Ghana, a private insurance firm, on Thursday said it would leverage the global expertise and capital base of its parent company to deliver excellent services to customers.
The Colina Group, an African focused insurance and real estate firm, about a year ago acquired majority stakes in the Ghanaian company Beacon
Insurance, leading to the birth of Colina Ghana Insurance.
Speaking at a press conference on the future prospects of the company, Mr Mel Kebe, Executive Director, said the Ghanaian subsidiary would benefit from solutions to all aspects of insurance demands through structured
products for individuals, professional occupation, small and medium enterprises, as well as products for major businesses.
"Our clients will have a comprehensive range of solutions and innovative products structured to meet their specific needs. In addition, we will be collaborating with our clients in providing them with security, efficiency and transparency," he said.
Mr Kebe said the company's outstanding expertise in risk advisory services, both internal and external, and technical competences, would allow the company to set up customized solutions for the clients.
On the oil industry, Mr Kebe said the company was ready to participate, taking lessons from experiences in insuring the operations of some oil
companies in Cote d'Ivoire and Gabon.
He said Colina Ghana was poised to reach the 5-million-dollar capitalization requirement within two years, which would enable it to undertake major businesses in the country.
The Colina Group has been operating in Africa for 30 years, with 20 subsidiaries in 10 African countries and also in France. It has a capital
base of 30 million dollars and total assets of 438.29 million dollars.
