What Makler does

Makler S.A. is an Argentine insurance broker and corporate risk management firm founded in 1985 in Buenos Aires, operating as the first Corporate Broker with entirely Argentine capital. The company intermediates insurance placement and provides risk advisory services for corporate clients in high-challenge industries — Oil & Gas, Mining, Agribusiness, Manufacturing, Logistics, Supply Chain, Renewable Energy — as well as individuals through personal lines products (home, auto, life, health, travel, bicycle, pet). Its technology backbone is the proprietary MaklerSeguros.Net portal, which supports digital quotation, policy issuance, claims management, and producer administration across both corporate and personal lines.

The business operates through four distinct GTM motions: enterprise field sales with dedicated account executives organized by industry vertical, an inside-sales International Division serving 600+ multinational corporate clients, digital self-service for personal lines through the MaklerSeguros.Net web/mobile portal, and a broker/producer channel network with international affiliations. Revenue is generated via insurance brokerage commissions (recurring on placed premium) and professional services fees for corporate risk advisory, program design, claims TPA, reinsurance management, and captive administration. Geographic reach extends across Argentina and Uruguay, with regional service delivery enabled by a wholly-owned subsidiary in Montevideo and shareholding in RiskCo Ltd., connecting clients to global insurance markets through exclusive international broker representation agreements. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification (maintained since May 2017) and is registered with Argentina's SSN under code 0294.
