When you choose an insurance broker, you rely on an independent professional. This professional figure is governed by the Insurance Code, that defines it as: “A professional that connects a Client”, private citizen or company, intending to stipulate an insurance policy “with insurance and reinsurance companies”, taking care of them throughout the whole process. Who chooses to turn to a broker, in the first place, confers an exploratory mandate to search the insurance market in order to find out the ideal solution for the Client's needs depending on the offers. The personalised approach is one of the advantages, and it's made possible by a 360° and updated knowledge in order to evaluate  risks and conveniences of the market.
