2. Insurance brokers in Georgian market
In fact, the insurance broker is not only intermediary in the process of choosing insurance policies, but also a
professional consultant of the client in insurance contract existence period.
As the client advisor, broker saves your time, money and worry.
It is the broker who gives a detailed explanation on the types of insurance, exceptions and positive or negative
aspects of the contract, as well as provides the client with service monitoring using legal and financial support, to
make sure that promises given by the insurance company, will be kept.
The Georgian market is quite specific. Broker companies abroad are very developed and everyone there knows
what brokers do. The Georgian market is only just developing in Georgia now. And generally speaking, a
developing market is very risky. In this case, companies depend not just on their job and clients. They have to
know the market’s problems from a broker company’s point of view, and not an insurance company.

5. Organizing of insurance tender
After we sign a contract with a client, we hold a high class competitive tender. This means that we study all the
needs of the client.
Then we calculate all risk-factors and make an insurance proposal which is our tender document. After the
clients read this proposal and agree to all the terms, we send it to insurance companies. The tender document
includes prices as well, according to our commission and client.
When we receive proposals from the insurance companies, we review them, compare them to each other
according to prices, exceptions etc, and choose the best one. We send all proposals to our clients and tell them
which one is our favorite. But the final choice is up to them.
Insurance tender starts by selecting appropriate insurance companies and informing them client company's
requirements by tender document. Tender document contain all realistic demand of client which is in touch with
leading insurance conditions in the market.
After getting exclusive offerings by insurance
companies, our technical managers make
appropriate recommendations to each insurance
company regarding their proposal. After the final

6. Insurance Monitoring
When the contract is signed the monitoring starts. The first and last months of a year’s contract are the most
difficult periods. In the first month people try to get maximal service as it is new and in the last month they try to
use up all the service they have left.
When there is a problem, our clients should know that they will get a solution to their problem in a very short
period of time, from two hours up to a day. But if they aren’t right, they will get a clear answer why and what
they should do to be in the right. Financial Brokers Georgia consults its clients to contact on the first day of a
problem arising. They shouldn’t make it worse by wasting time while trying to sort it out themselves. We can
solve the problem at the very beginning.
Since then “Financial Brokers Georgia” signed an insurance agreement, company monitors client in:
1) Relationship with the insurance company
2) Solving of insurance problems timely
3) Client awareness
Financial Brokers Georgia has launched a survey of
the corporate insured which goal is to identify
satisfaction or dissatisfaction of each employee with
insurance services.
The survey results will be provided to the insured
company's management, as well as the insurance
company.
The questionnaire will include such general
insurance topics as the family doctor's advice,
satisfaction with medicines, in and out-patient
services, services in pregnancy and stomatology and

insurance cases which have to be solved after.
