French to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Insurance / Acquisition of a reinsurance company and presentation of business plan
French term or phrase: Souscription/ souscripteurs
Title: Aspects opérationnels / Souscriptions / Renouvellements

Souscription sous-traitée, sous la supervision des associés et ce, jusqu'au recrutement des souscripteurs identifiés avant le Closing


Since the titles seems to direct the reader to the operational side of a reinsurance company, I thought perhaps " policyholder" or "subscriber" would be the correct translation of souscripteur.

agree  Ph_B (X): Your answer is correct - should be CL5 - but your explanation refers to (co)insurance, whereas the question is about the acquisition of a reinsurance company.
