Inclusive Insurance for SMEs: Protecting Small and Medium Enterprises in a Changing Risk Landscape Training Course
Introduction
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) form the backbone of many economies, driving innovation, employment, and sustainable growth. However, SMEs are highly vulnerable to risks such as property damage, business interruption, liability claims, cyber threats, and health-related issues. Without adequate insurance, these risks can significantly disrupt operations, limit growth opportunities, and reduce long-term business resilience. Inclusive insurance provides tailored, affordable, and accessible solutions to safeguard SMEs and help them thrive in competitive markets.
This 10-day training course on Inclusive Insurance for SMEs equips participants with a comprehensive understanding of how insurance products can be designed, distributed, and managed to address the unique challenges faced by SMEs. By exploring best practices, innovative risk transfer mechanisms, and digital distribution channels, participants will gain actionable strategies to close the protection gap, strengthen financial resilience, and create long-term value for small businesses.
