The packages are available only to newly insured groups. A newly insured group is defined as a group that has not been insured for over a year. Minimum number of employees is ten and maximum number is 30, with no limitations in the number of dependents.

If the insured personnel is less than 10, for example 9, it is necessary to have 6 dependents, so the total number of persons reaches 15. In this case however the number of dependents cannot exceed the number of insured employees. The main insured persons cannot be less than 8.

Two or more businesses can be insured under the same contract if the legal representative is the same, and the field of business is the same. For example two restaurants, three bakeries, two clothes stores etc.
