Harare, (New Ziana) – In a move aimed at providing financial security and stability, Champions Insurance has partnered with the Small and Medium Enterprise Association of Zimbabwe (SMEAZ) to offer services to business owners and entrepreneurs in the country.

At an event held in the high-density suburb of Mbare on Wednesday, Women Affairs, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Minister Monica Mutsvangwa urged entrepreneurs to take advantage of the insurance offer, emphasizing the importance of protecting their businesses from unforeseen risks.

“Long ago people thought only people with big businesses were the only ones who were able to insure their businesses. SMEs and anyone can acquire insurance. SMEs are doing a great job for the country with their money totaling US$8.6 billion on the Gross Domestic Product of the country. Champions Insurance wants everyone to know that everyone qualifies for insurance,” she said.

“SMEs you occupy a strategic position in achieving Vision 2030 with the support you are giving to the government. You are the vehicle for sustainable economic transformation. Do not look down upon yourselves as I, your Minister, will forever stand with you. We want to build a future where insurance is not a luxury but a necessity for business.”

The event brought together small business owners, entrepreneurs and industry experts who discussed the insurance packages and the various options available.

A Champions Insurance representative said the company packages start from US$1 to US$5 for business and health insurance designed to cater to the needs of SMEs.

With the partnership, Champions Insurance aims to support the growth and development of small businesses in the country, contributing to the national vision of becoming an upper-middle-income economy by 2030.
