1.
What does an insurance broker do for businesses?
An insurance broker helps companies identify, analyze, and manage risks. We look beyond simply taking out a policy: we provide strategic advice on risk management, structure appropriate solutions, and ensure your risks are properly placed with the right insurers. Furthermore, we guide the entire process from risk inventory to taking out the insurance, and from management to claims handling. This allows SMEs and large corporations to focus on their operations while we take care of the certainty.
2.
Why should I use an insurance broker?
An independent insurance broker like Meijers advocates for your interests. We think along strategically, we know the market, and we ensure you are neither under- nor over-insured. Due to our access to various insurers, we make risks manageable and secure optimal terms and premiums. This is how we strengthen the continuity of your organization. At Meijers, the focus is on advice, prevention, and finding solutions that fit your organization and strategy.
3.
What is the difference between an insurer and an insurance broker?
An insurer only offers its own products. An insurance broker is independent, advises, and acts as an intermediary on behalf of the client with multiple insurers. We comprehensively map out risks, advise on prevention, and guide the entire process. This way, Meijers always chooses the solution that best matches the specific risks and objectives of your company.
4.
Is an insurance broker cheaper than going directly to an insurer?
In many cases, yes. Thanks to our scale, international market knowledge, and strong negotiation position, we often achieve sharper premiums and better terms, especially for large corporate businesses. Moreover, our risk analysis prevents duplicate coverage or inadequate policies, saving unnecessary costs. It is not possible, nor advisable, to take out some business insurance policies directly with an insurer. You need a specialist who thoroughly analyzes the risks, manages the negotiation process for you, and ensures that no risks fall through the cracks between two insurance solutions. We see the latter happen all too often with direct insurers. At Meijers, we make the difference by providing you with expert advice, ensuring you always receive the best, interconnected terms for your situation. Choose an insurance broker so you can focus on your business while we ensure optimal coverage and continuity.
5.
How do I choose the right insurance broker for my company?
Look for independence, expertise, and experience within your industry. A good broker understands your business model and has the capacity to cover risks effectively. Meijers is an independent family business since 1973, with specialists in sectors including construction, real estate, food & feed, housing associations, logistics, ICT, and globally operating companies. Thanks to our international partner network, we support companies not only locally but also with activities across borders.
