Our business embraces wholesale, retail and reinsurance products, and is reinforced by a highly experienced in-house claims team that spans all our divisions. From a predominantly North American operation in the early years, we have widened our focus to include treaty and facultative insurance across a huge variety of business lines worldwide. 

Besso provides specialist access to Lloyd’s and all major insurance markets, and we work closely with other brokers and intermediaries to ensure global distribution. Many of our contracts are executed under binding authority facilities held by Besso Ltd.
