ABOUT KUDA

Kuda began life in 2009 as a horse insurance specialist, with ambitions of building a diversified insurance and related financial services business. Today our offering includes a range of niche insurance products, a short-term insurance broker (advice) division, an accounting and administration service as well as a foreign exchange intermediary and advisory service.

KUDA NICHE

Our niche insurance product offering includes a comprehensive range of products designed for Bloodstock (horses in the racehorse industry), Sport Horses (from Showjumpers to Riding Horses and everything in between), Game (Rare Breeding Species) and Livestock (aimed at the more valuable livestock breeding sector). We own a cell captive with Guardrisk, and this enables us to develop, price and manage our own products rather than simply fulfilling the role of the “middle man”. This, together with our unmatched domain knowledge sets us apart in our ability to tailor solutions for our clients.

KUDA BROKERS

Our insurance broker division offers advice and intermediary services to cater for both individuals’ and businesses’ insurance needs. The business started from the premise that if our clients wanted the best insurance for their horses, they certainly had cars, houses, and probably businesses with insurance needs. While we have access to insurance products designed specifically for our customers, we also have access to a comprehensive range of insurance companies’ products and back this up with expert advice and the unmatched service levels we have become known for.

KUDA ACCOUNTING & ADMINISTRATION

Our dedicated accounting team is here to support you with a comprehensive range of accounting and compliance services. We prioritize the integration of technology to ensure a seamless experience for our clients. Our offerings encompass everything from cashbook accounting to management accounts, as well as VAT and income tax services. Leveraging Kuda’s extensive expertise, particularly in the bloodstock industry, we have developed specialised systems for bloodstock administration and taxation. With Kuda’s support, you can confidently navigate the complexities of bloodstock finances and focus on the passion of owning and managing your horses.

KUDA FOREIGN EXCHANGE

Our foreign exchange division offers both individual and corporate FX solutions. Whether you are an individual sending money offshore for investment purposes, or a corporate paying for imports or getting paid for exports, we offer tailored solutions and exceptional rates. In addition to our intermediary services, we have a Risk Management product offering that essentially assists you in managing risk around the volatility of the Rand.

One of the cornerstones of our commitment is to give you complete peace of mind. Choose us and you’ll get the personal treatment that has been a hallmark of Kuda since we opened our doors in 2009.

We would love to hear from you and discuss how we can help protect your valuable assets and provide financial solutions tailored to your needs. Contact us today to learn more about our products and services.
