What Raetsheren does

Raetsheren is a Dutch insurance broker and risk management intermediary, legally organized as Acrisure Netherlands Group B.V. and headquartered in Alkmaar with an additional office in Rotterdam. The firm operates as an "assurantiemakelaar" — an intermediary placed between client organizations and insurance providers — with roots traced to 1768, and is part of the privately held global brokerage Acrisure. It serves Dutch businesses and (semi) government entities across twelve explicitly addressed industry verticals, including Construction, Municipalities & Public Sector, Trade & Commodity, Logistics, Mobility, Education, Professional Services, Real Estate, Housing Corporations, Safety & Health, Food/Packaging/Retail, and Healthcare.

The company's offering is structured around four core service domains: Risicomanagement (risk advisory and "risk steering"), Schadebeheersing (damage prevention, claims handling, and repair coordination), People (employee benefits administration), and Internationaal (international risk and insurance program support for cross-border clients). These are operationalized through a broad catalog of insurance products spanning assets (fire/business interruption, construction all risk, goods, equipment, credit), liabilities (general, professional, D&O, cyber, medical, product recall), and people-related coverage (self-insurance arrangements, accident, pension, absenteeism/reintegration, healthcare/income). Supporting services include Consultancy, Tenderdesk, and Intermediair placement. A customer-facing Acrisure Portal handles routine policy interactions, while the Intermont sub-brand handles auto damage reporting and claims. No proprietary technology platform, AI/ML systems, patents, or third-party tech integrations are described in the available data.

Commercially, Raetsheren runs a sales-led, consultative GTM with dedicated account managers acting as a single point of contact. Revenue is generated via commissions from insurance carriers on placed and managed policies, with monthly billing cycles referenced in pricing documentation. There is no public pricing schedule; customer-specific deal structures prevail. Distribution is domestic (Netherlands), with international placement support enabled through the Acrisure network. Marketing is conducted through the corporate website, segment-specific pages, industry podcasts, and participation in VNAB (Dutch Association of Insurance Advisors) events. No funding rounds, M&A transactions, leadership changes, awards, or regulatory actions are documented in the input data.

Regional players

• MeesRisicobeheer: Dutch risk management and insurance broker with strong public-sector and mid-market focus. Closest direct Dutch head-to-head competitor to Raetsheren in both scale and customer mix.
• BHB Dullemond: Dutch insurance broker with comparable mid-market and corporate focus, including international programs. Overlaps with Raetsheren across commercial P&C, professional liability, and D&O.
• Voogd & Voogd: Mid-sized Dutch insurance intermediary serving SMEs and corporate clients. Comparable to a portion of Raetsheren's mid-market book, particularly in property, liability, and employee benefits.
• Klap Verzekeringsmakelaar: Dutch insurance broker specializing in real estate, housing corporations (woningcorporaties), and property-related risks. Direct overlap with Raetsheren's Vastgoed & VvE and Woningcorporaties verticals.
