assurer (in this context)

English translation: Assurance

Bus/Financial - Finance (general)
French term or phrase: assurer (in this context)
What does it mean if a company is "assuré" by financial partners?

Is "financed" too much of a stretch - should I say "covered" or "secured"??

English translation:Assurance
Explanation:
In English, there is a slight difference between "insurance" and "assurance"
"Insurance" means you will be reimbursed IN CASE SOMETHING HAPPENS THAT WE DO NOT EXPECT" (such as a car accident, God forbid). "ASSURANCE" means you will get reimbursed for things that are bound to happen such as "DEATH, OLD AGE... THAT WE KNOW WILL OCCUR AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER", in which case it means that your financial partners will be there to cover any loss you incur, either way.
Assurance, in this case, is the correct translation as it points to both cases.
My confidence is high, but it's definitely a fiver!

In your context, I would use "guaranteed", which is some sort of "assurance".

I think "guaranteed" fit though it is hard to say without further contextual info, and there isn't any!

  -> If you have no idea how that would fit does not mean that others don't know or can't figure it out.
