As part of its growth strategy, SG Equipment
Finance (SGEF) has teamed-up with a major
global insurance company to provide insurance on the asset it
leases to customers.
“We are currently building the partnership with
a major insurance company on a worldwide basis,” said Cécile Le
Bon, chief financial officer at SGEF.

“At the moment we are going through the specifics – for example,
we will still work with local insurance companies in countries
where our partner cannot provide services.”

For SGEF, the benefit is two-fold, said Le Bon. The lessor will
be more comfortable as it will know the underlying insurance
product in depth – for example, what the level of coverage is on an
asset; and secondly, by promoting its insurance partner, SGEF will
receive a commission.

According to Le Bon, the product has been “very successful”.
Launched in 2008, it will be rolled out further this year. It forms

additional services.
