The global insurance industry is evolving rapidly, with growing demand for specialised products such as cyber insurance, trade credit, political risk, and parametric solutions. Offshore brokers are at the heart of this growth — providing access to reinsurance markets, designing bespoke covers, and enabling clients to manage cross-border risks with confidence.

Mauritius is strategically positioned between Africa and Asia, two regions that are experiencing strong economic growth yet remain significantly under-insured. Africa, in particular, shows average insurance penetration of less than 3%, compared to more than 7% in advanced economies. This gap represents tremendous potential for forward-looking insurance solutions, with Mauritius perfectly placed to act as the regional gateway.

Already established as the reinsurance hub for Southern Africa, Mauritius hosts leading international reinsurers who bring expertise and capacity to the market. Imara Trust Company (Mauritius) Limited has been instrumental in supporting this growth together with assisting with the setup and ongoing administration of Insurance Broker and Insurance Manager licences. Our proven track record and dedicated back-office expertise make us a trusted partner for clients looking to enter and thrive in this sector.

At Imara Trust Company (Mauritius) Limited, we stand ready to help you seize this opportunity and unlock the full potential of Mauritius as your base for your insurance broking business.
