Platus

A subsidiary of the Verspieren Group, Platus created an original brokerage model in international risk.

Our knowledge of the market, our direct access to Lloyd’s, our experience allows us to offer you the best coverage solutions and to accompany you throughout your operations. Our tailored interventions facilitate your risk coverage and the security of your projects abroad.

OUR COMMITMENTS

Contractor, investor or exporter, all international companies are confronted with major risks, risks of a political nature (conflicts, terrorism, nationalisations…) and commercial risks ( non-payments, breach of contract, insolvency…). We help you to select the insurers and to set up the most efficient coverage solution.

Our role goes well beyond the occasional intermediation. Indeed, we make every effort to ensure the appropriate insurance solution to your project, throughout the life of your contract. In case of claim, we intervene to obtain equitable and satisfactory indemnification. We remain involved up to the recovery of monies owed.
