Approximately 2 million businesses operate in Turkey. More than 90 percent of those businesses are SMEs, which provide 80 percent of the employment, 60 percent of wages and salaries and 70 percent of turnovers in Turkey. Therefore, it is of vital importance for Turkish economy that SMEs survive and are kept afloat under any circumstances.

Aksigorta serves SMEs both with a wide range of products and covers different types of risks, as well as offering completely tailor-made solutions for the business.

Uğur Gülen, Ganarel Manager of Aksigorta, stated that rate of business insurance in Turkey unfortunately stood at around 10-15 percent; underlining the huge role that falls upon the shoulders of the government and insurance companies.

Saying that healthy SMEs that stay in course are extremely important for Turkish economy, Uğur Gülen added as follows:

"While SMEs which bear critical importance for the healthy growth of Turkish economy continue their activities, they need to minimize their risks. Aksigorta insures businesses with really advantageous premium rates through all our products and packages prepared especially for SMEs. Frankly, as Aksigorta, we play our part for this significant task; however, insurance awareness and penetration rates are seriously low in Turkey. Two commonly known ways to solve this problem is to increase the number of compulsory insurance lines, and to develop special insurance products to fit every risk - or in other words, to diversify the product range."

With sectoral insurance packages prepared for various businesses such as gas stations, pharmacies, hotels; Aksigorta customizes insurance services by sector, and even by businesses. The company provides affordable insurance for all manner of risks ranking from property to decoration, from customers to employees and from machines to electronic equipment.
