Insurance companies in these sectors are retaining the company to provide services to their clients as well. The company seeks to expand across Europe and in America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Singapore via an Outsourcing Agreement. Other agreements may be considered during negotiation phase between potential partners.
