Garantia Seguros
Insurance company that operates in the Angolan market. The company started its activity in November 2009 and has Angolan and Portuguese shareholders. As Garantia Seguros is a start-up, its first priority is to sell insurances in the Property Sector (Work accidents, Fires, Car, amongst others) to medium-sized companies, primarily through insurance brokers. Once the company gains a favourable position in the Corporate market, it will also start working in the private market sector. Nevertheless, since the number of car insurance premiums is growing, the company is already working in the private market sector.
