SHORT TERM INSURANCE
Without it, no insurance portfolio is complete. With Donsure, you can enjoy all of your protection under one roof and of course, at the best rates.
South Africa is faced with numerous challenges – from climate change and harsh weather conditions to diminishing livestock as a result of drought, the risks associated with business and everyday life are many. It’s for this reason that insurance is so crucial to protecting one’s assets in case of an unforeseen event, whether it is agricultural, commercial/industrial or domestically related.

LIFESTYLE
financial planning
We use a successful planning process that is based on a sound intellectual framework. This approach to wealth planning ensures that you have the best chance to achieve your short-, medium- and long-term goals reliably. It is an ongoing holistic advice process that focusses on you and your desired lifestyle, objectives and goals.
It’s about asking the right questions so that we can really understand what matters most to you about money. It shows us what is important to you, what you want and need, as well as your hoped and fears.
OUR PROCESS
financial advice that is focussed on you
INTRODUCTION AND DEFINING THE RELATIONSHIP
Our initial engagement includes an introduction to Donsure, our advisory process and our value proposition. We discuss the next steps and the documentation required to facilitate the next phase of our advice process.
DATA GATHERING AND GOAL SETTING
We dig deeper into your current financial position and ensure that not only do you have the correct portfolio in place - but that it is optimised for who you are and what you want to achieve. This includes defining your lifestyle goals.
ANALYSE AND DEVELOP YOUR PLAN
In order to give you the right financial advice we use our tools, experience and resources to assist you in achieving your desired goals whilst protecting and growing your wealth. This is a lifelong conversation that will develop alongside your unique and ever changing needs.
PRESENT THE PLAN
We create scenarios and proposals in order to achieve your desired lifestyle. Here we will revise your goals, finalise a strategy and discuss an action plan.
IMPLEMENTING THE PLAN
Once all of the options are understood by you, a course of action is implemented to get your plan into action, this will include risk, investment, retirement and estate planning.
REVIEW YOUR PROGRESS
We believe that the best financial plans are updated and monitored on a regular basis as a result of changes in personal circumstance as well as the economic environment. We will provide you with quarterly statements, reviews, newsletters and online investment platforms in order to monitor and keep you up to date with your plan.
SERVICES OFFERED
RISK PLANNING
Your health and ability to work in order to earn an income are valuable assets. Suffering a severe illness or becoming occupationally or physically disabled can leave you and your family in great financial difficulty. Personal cover gives you peace of mind that your family, finances and lifestyle are protected against the impact of death, disability and severe illness.
ESTATE PLANNING
Estate planning is not only for the wealthy. If you have assets, investment policies, risk cover and more than one potential beneficiary, then we can assist you with the planning of your estate and how it will be allocated when you pass away. An estate that is left open can cause a difficult time to be even harder for those who are left behind. Often there is more work needed on a R3m estate than on one that is worth R20m!
RETIREMENT PLANNING
The sooner you begin to plan and save for your retirement, the sooner you can retire! The product most bought for this type of financial planning and provision is known as a Retirement Annuity (RA). Most companies have RA’s worked into their remuneration packages, but many don’t.
INVESTMENT PLANNING
When it comes to investing, it’s important to have a diverse portfolio. Our expert knowledge and extensive investment options allow you to truly choose the very best products available to you. From shorter term conservative strategies with low risk to long term aggressive investing, we can structure a portfolio that is tailored to your goals and risk appetite.
BUSINESS INSURANCE
Cover that protects your business if anything happens to you, your business partner or any key person. This typically covers key individuals in the business, Contingent Liability (to cover debt in the business) and Buy & Sell Agreements – in order to purchase the share of a deceased or disabled partner.
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Employee benefits provides group risk and retirement solutions to small, medium and large enterprises and their employees. Benefits for employees typically include pension or provident funds as well as life, disability, severe illness and funeral cover.
