Groupama Insurances has launched two initiatives for brokers aimed at helping them target the SME market. These include a risk management guide for SMEs and an association with Riskstop Limited.

The risk management guide will be issued to all new Groupama SME policyholders, said the company.

It said the initiative with Riskstop would provide business with both advice and hands-on assistance in implementing risk improvements resulting from insurance surveys. This reduces the time spent by brokers dealing with risk improvements.

Groupama property underwriting manager Malcolm Smith said: "With these two initiatives, we are not only making policyholders more aware of the issues they need to address to protect their businesses but are actually helping them to implement the practical improvements that they need to make."
