Efekoha added that Consolidated Hallmark Insurance has also established a retail unit with the aim of growing the business through the advantages inherent in the largely untapped volumes available from the mass market.

“The 2O15 financial year was one of the most eventful in the annals of this company from consolidation in 2oO7 as it marked the growth of income to an all time high of N6 billion. This is remarkable when we consider the N1.5 billion Gross Premium Income in 2OO7. Profitability also increased from N23O million to the N545 million recorded as Profit After tax for the year 2O15.It has been nine years of steady growth although not as fast as envisaged.”

‘Cost of Finance Too Expensive in Africa’

“I would say the biggest challenge companies face is the cost of finance. Funds are very expensive in Africa,” says Jonty Levin, a Partner at financial advisory and structuring specialist, Alkebulan. There are two main reasons why the cost of finance generally remains high across the continent, according to Levin. One is the perceived risk associated with investing in African companies, and another is the shallow financial markets, where limited supply is rationed through higher costs.
