1 PLURAL AGENCIES LTD INSURANCE BROKERS FOR THE ASSOCIATION OF PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS OF SAINT LUCIA

2 PLURAL AGENCIES LTD WHO WE ARE  Established in 1988, we are an independent insurance broker, not an agent of any insurance company OUR FUNCTIONS OF A BROKER  We offer professional and impartial advice  often advantageous for businesses, especially those that require a tailored package with several types of business insurance  They can save you time and often prove less expensive than negotiating with insurers yourself  As an independent broker, our first priority is the client, and not the insurer  Our services are free. We do not charge the client. The only fee received is a commission from the insurer  A good broker should inform you which aspects of different insurance policies suit your business and which aspects are less relevant, and ultimately give you time and space to make the final decision yourself.
