Excess Risk Consultants

About Us
Protecting Clients Beyond Traditional Insurance

At Excess Risk Consultants, we believe insurance should provide confidence when it's needed most.

While traditional insurance policies are designed to cover losses, many policyholders still face significant excess payments and unexpected costs when submitting a claim. Our purpose is simple: to reduce financial burdens and provide protection when it matters most.

Our Story

Every insurance policy promises protection, yet when disaster strikes, many individuals and businesses discover they are still responsible for part of the cost.

Recognising this gap in the market, Excess Risk Consultants was established to provide specialised excess reducers and value-added insurance solutions that work alongside existing insurance cover.

Since our inception, we have focused on protecting individuals, homeowners, businesses, fleet operators and transport companies from the financial impact of excess payments and claim-related expenses.

Through innovative products and a client-focused approach, we continue to deliver practical solutions that provide greater peace of mind and financial security.

Today, we proudly partner with more than 233 brokerages across South Africa, helping brokers and their clients access specialised protection solutions designed for real-world risks.
