Who Are We

Finesse Insurance Brokers is formed out of the ambition and passion of its founder, Chris Kotze, who has 12 years’ experience in the insurance broking sector wherein he became the Managing Director of a KZN based Short Term Insurance Brokerage. Through these years a passion formed around the excitement and challenge of sourcing cover for medium to large, hard-to-place, policies that many Brokerages do not have the time, expertise, or drive to achieve.

“Not only did I find the the bigger brokerages were entrenched in old ways of doing things, they were slow to adapt to the times and if too large, it is very costly and cumbersome to pivot or change direction,”  says Chris Kotze.  “I wanted to be able to service clients nationally, use technology to have little environmental impact and be able to support charitable causes. This is why I took the step to launch Finesse Insurance Brokers… to do things differently, and do things well.”

Risk Analysis and Guidance

We look at your commercial property or operation through the lens of an insurance surveyor or assessor, taking note of vulnerabilities, procedures, processes, current risk reduction measures in place as well as keeping in mind the current safety and fire requirements of the various Laws and Acts that are applicable. Once done, we will provide a report that may consist of two parts. The first being what the insurers will require as a condition of cover and the second part being any non-compulsory measures that you can chose to implement that will help reduce the chances of loss. Prevention is better than the cure.

Personal Connections

Insurance broking is about personal connections and showing up to meet the client, asses their risks, advise on possible risk reduction measures and finding the correct insurance solution.

Anywhere

With technology today, there is no reason why a Brokerage cannot be based anywhere and still deliver 100% sound advice and services to clients nationwide. We have adopted this mindset to set ourselves apart. We are entirely equipped to operate remotely and can travel to clients whenever there is a need to meet face to face or to walk around and familiarize ourselves with a premise in need of cover.
