Our Philosophy
Human. Humble. Honest.
Trust is earned through transparency and technical discipline. Our advisory-led approach ensures that insurance decisions are driven by governance and enterprise value, rather than just premium costs.
By representing our clients while partnering with leading insurers, we build robust programmes designed to protect assets and people over the long term.
How We Work
Insurance programmes fail when they’re placed without understanding how risk actually arises in your operations. Our approach combines:
Our advisory services are included—no additional cost to clients. We are remunerated through insurer commissions with full transparency.
Risk assessment:
Risk assessment: On-site inspections of facilities (including sugar mills, power
plants, and industrial estates) to map real exposures, not assumptions.
Market negotiation:
Market negotiation: Structured tendering across local and international markets to secure coverage aligned with your contractual and governance obligations.
Claims advocacy
Claims advocacy Active representation from first notification through to settlement,
ensuring insurers assess claims based on policy intent, not narrow interpretation.

FAQ - Strategic Answers for Decision-Makers
How quickly can Proxy Brokers secure insurance cover for a large-scale industrial project in Mauritius?
For standard corporate risks, we can often secure ‘Held Covered’ confirmation from insurers within 24 to 48 hours.
For well-prepared industrial projects, initial insurer feedback can often be obtained within days. Final placement will depend on the complexity of the risk, the completeness of the underwriting information, and whether reinsurance or specialist market support is required. Proxy Brokers helps speed up the process by coordinating a robust submission and approaching the appropriate markets early.
What criteria do you use to recommend one insurer over another for corporate risks?
Our recommendations are based on a technical match between an insurer’s solvency, their claims-paying reputation, and your specific risk profile.
Who exactly represents my interests if a complex insurance claim is filed?
Your dedicated Claims Advocate manages the entire process, negotiating with adjusters and insurers to protect your policy rights.
