The official UAE Partners Club
The official UAE Partners Club offers small entrepreneurs services intended to help them set up, manage and develop their businesses. These exclusive offers are available to UAE members only, mainly via the website: www.union-autoentrepreneur.com/content/le-club-des-partenaires-de-luae
Aviva invites UAE members to take out insurance and choose an agent online
Via this site, members of the UAE (Union of Small Entrepreneurs) can take out Aviva insurance policies in just a few clicks, print out an insurance certificate with one month’s validity and chose their general agent.
The partnership covers professional insurance (for liability during work and after delivery) and legal protection policies.
UAE members access their dedicated area on the Aviva website. There they can find information and advice about small entrepreneurship, take out insurance immediately in the click of a mouse or request a quotation if their activity cannot be insured online. They can also choose their general agent.
The selected Aviva agent will then contact the small entrepreneur within 48 hours in order to make an appointment to finalise the contract and arrange the necessary follow-up.
Jean-Pierre Menanteau, CEO of Aviva France, said: “The UAE Forum is an important local event for small entrepreneurs as it is an opportunity for them to obtain information and exchange ideas. At Aviva, we have a range of simple, useful and good-quality insurance offers for small entrepreneurs. As the world’s fifth-largest insurance group with 50 million customers worldwide, helping small entrepreneurs manage their risks effectively is a central concern for us. Aviva already has nearly 100,000 self-employed customers. Entrepreneurial spirit is a fundamental value for Aviva and its 873 general agents, who are themselves real entrepreneurs. For us, it’s also an innovative way of working on medium and long-term changes in the tertiary sector.”
