About Us

Welcome to Genesis Insurance and Financial Services Group.

The common denominator amongst businesses, large and small, public companies, partnerships, sole traders, mums and dads, is the need for sound insurance, risk management and financial services that are aligned with the client’s specific operations and individual requirements.

So, your choice of insurance and financial services broker can be one of the most important decisions you make. By retaining the services of a professional broker, you are acquiring specialist expertise complimentary to your own and in doing so, putting your affairs in the hands of others.

Your choice of insurance and financial services broker can be one of the most important decisions you make.

Our clients benefit directly from the knowledge and observations of highly experienced brokers who have encountered a wide variety of business and domestic situations across a broad range of industry sectors.

I do hope you will give us the opportunity to demonstrate our competitive advantage and to show you the quality of the GENESIS service.

Genesis Insurance Brokers

Why us?

Going direct to an insurance company may appear cheaper to you but without the specialist interpretation of the product, the policy you are about to purchase may not be adequate to your specific needs, going direct may well turn out to be an extremely expensive exercise.

Using an insurance broker could even cost less because a broker has knowledge of the insurance market and the ability to negotiate competitive premiums with the Underwriters on your behalf. It is a broker’s duty is to explain your policy and any special situations you need to watch out for.

You’d only buy cheap insurance if you’ve got nothing to lose.
