Once upon a time, there were three little pigs. As they grew older and left their parents' home, they purchased their own vehicles and houses, and furnished each of them according to their individual taste. As their assets grew it was inevitable that they had to seek insurance to safeguard them against the notorious wolf pack.

The first little piggy decided against insurance. He thought that he could do something else, and have much more fun with the extra money every month. “Why cry wolf?” he thought. “It will never happen to me.” When the big bad wolf unexpectedly came knocking on his door, he huffed and puffed, and he blew the first little piggy’s house into smithereens. The shocked piggy lost everything. With his tail between his legs, he hurried over to the second piggy for assistance and shelter. 😞

It was not even a year later when an unforeseen disaster made its way across the second piggy’s path. Luckily, the second piggy learnt from the first piggy’s mistakes. He took out insurance and believed he would be covered for anything. But the big bad creepy wolf was lurking in the dark with his greedy little beady eyes on the second piggy’s business. He leapt out of the shadows and huffed and puffed with all his might. The wolf then blew the second little piggy’s company’s building into a million little pieces, scattering it into the wind and leaving the poor little piggy with a quarter of a million Rand worth of damage.

Even though the second piggy was insured, he was still in trouble! His building was only insured for R500,000 and its replacement value was R1-million. And because of that, the Insurer Man only paid out R125,000 of the R250,000 in damage, minus the co-payment! All because the second piggy was underinsured by 50%. The poor little piggy could not carry such a massive blow to his finances. Devastated, he grabbed the first little piggy and together they sprinted to the third piggy for help.

The third clever little piggy was insured with Voorpos. And because Voorpos does extensive analysis and professional insurance services, the third piggy was comprehensively covered. So, when disaster struck, the third little piggy’s business carried on as usual. The clever piggy’s financial advisor immediately came to the rescue and they were able to recover as if nothing had happened. This time, the big bad wolf returned to the wolf pack with his tail between his legs.

Because no damage was done, the third little piggy was able to help her other two piggy siblings. They started working together, and grew into a formidable piggy family business. To this day, the three little pigs are living happy, prosperous and fully covered by Voorpos Short-Term Insurance Advisors.
