Core values
Our people are our greatest asset. Every employee brings their own style to the work, but the foundation is the same across the board. And that shared sense of purpose runs deep.
At the heart of everything we do is the relationship between client, broker, and insurer. We are here to build lasting partnerships, and we put everything into that goal. Being decisive means we can actually move things forward. Sometimes the right solution is straightforward; other times it takes real creativity and a willingness to think differently. Through it all, we keep people, the environment, and society in mind. Meijers does business with genuine care and a human touch.

1.
What does an insurance broker do for businesses?
An insurance broker helps companies identify, analyze, and manage risk. At Meijers, we go beyond placing a policy: we provide strategic advice on risk management, structure the right solutions, and make sure your risks are placed with the right insurers. We guide the entire process, from the initial risk assessment through to policy setup, ongoing management, and claims handling. That lets SMEs and large corporations stay focused on their operations while we take care of their peace of mind.
2.
Why work with an insurance broker?
An independent insurance broker like Meijers works in your corner. We think with you strategically, we know the market, and we make sure you are neither under- nor over-insured. Because we work with a wide range of insurers, we can make your risks manageable and secure the best possible terms and premiums. The result is a more resilient, better-protected organization. At Meijers, the focus is on advice, prevention, and solutions that fit your business and its strategy.
3.
What is the difference between an insurer and an insurance broker?
An insurer sells only its own products. An insurance broker is independent: we advise you and act on your behalf across multiple insurers. We take a thorough look at your risks, advise on how to reduce them, and guide you through the entire process. That way, Meijers can always find the solution that fits your company's specific risks and goals.
4.
Is an insurance broker cheaper than going directly to an insurer?
In many cases, yes. Our scale, international market knowledge, and strong negotiating position allow us to secure better premiums and more favorable terms than most businesses can achieve on their own, particularly for larger corporates. A thorough risk analysis also eliminates duplicate coverage and underinsured gaps, cutting costs that would otherwise go unnoticed.
For some business insurance policies, going direct to an insurer is simply not practical, and often not advisable either. You need a specialist who analyzes your risks carefully, handles the negotiation process, and makes sure nothing slips through the gaps between two separate policies. That last point is something we see go wrong repeatedly when businesses work with direct insurers.
At Meijers, we give you expert advice and make sure every element of your cover works together. Choose an insurance broker and focus on running your business, confident that your coverage and continuity are in good hands.
5.
How do I choose the right insurance broker for my company?
