Holland Verzekeringsmakelaars B.V.

What Holland Verzekeringsmakelaars B.V. does

Holland Verzekeringsmakelaars B.V. is an independent Dutch insurance broker founded circa 1898 and headquartered in Rotterdam, operating as a Besloten Vennootschap under Dutch law. The firm is registered as a Registermakelaar in Assurantiën (RMiA) under AFM registration number 12047251 and is a member of the Kifid financial-disputes body and the VNAB trade association of Dutch insurance brokers.

The company serves the large-enterprise ('grootzakelijke') market, with a stated focus on multinationals and large Dutch companies. Its product placement lines span property damage and business interruption, liability, transport, marine, cyber, terrorism, construction (CAR), and aviation and space risks. Distribution is relationship-driven: the firm provides direct sales and on-site consultation rather than operating a digital self-service channel, and the firm does not maintain a public website.

The business model is commission-based intermediation: Holland Verzekeringsmakelaars places client business with insurance providers and earns placement commissions on those policies. Revenue is therefore a function of premium volume written and commission terms negotiated with carrier partners, rather than fee-for-service advisory income. Aside from a CSR partnership with Sportspullenbank Nederland supporting redistribution of sports goods, no ancillary services, technology products, or scale indicators (headcount, revenue, client count) are disclosed in the available source material.

Broad incumbents

• Arthur J. Gallagher: Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. is one of the world's largest insurance brokerage and risk management firms, with operations across Europe including the Netherlands. Broad incumbent competing with Holland Verzekeringsmakelaars in the Dutch large-enterprise commercial market, but with a much wider portfolio of services, geographies, and specialty resources.
• Howden Group: Howden is a global insurance broker with growing European and Dutch presence, serving mid-to-large enterprises with commercial insurance, reinsurance, and employee benefits. Comparable to Holland Verzekeringsmakelaars in its enterprise orientation and independence emphasis (Howden is employee-owned), but operates at vastly greater scale and broader geographic footprint as a broad incumbent in the same commercial brokerage category.

Direct peers

• Marsh Netherlands (Marsh B.V.): Marsh Netherlands is part of Marsh McLennan, one of the world's largest insurance brokers and risk advisors, operating in the Dutch large-enterprise commercial insurance and risk consulting market. Direct competitor to Holland Verzekeringsmakelaars for the same client base, with broader multinational program capabilities and deeper specialty expertise.
• MeesRisicobeheer: MeesRisicobeheer is a Dutch independent insurance broker and risk management consultant serving the commercial market, with deep roots in the Dutch zakelijke (business) insurance segment. Directly comparable to Holland Verzekeringsmakelaars as a Netherlands-based intermediary focused on tailored risk solutions for Dutch enterprises rather than mass-market distribution.
• Willis Towers Watson Netherlands: WTW Netherlands operates as a major insurance and risk advisory broker serving Dutch large enterprises with commercial insurance placement, risk management consulting, and employee benefits. Direct competitor to Holland Verzekeringsmakelaars in the same enterprise segment, though with much greater scale and broader international reach through the WTW global network.
• BOVEMIJ: BOVEMIJ is a Dutch insurance broker historically focused on the mobility sector (automotive, transport, logistics) but serving commercial clients across the Netherlands. Comparable to Holland Verzekeringsmakelaars as an independent Dutch intermediary placing commercial insurance for businesses, with similar GTM through personal advisor relationships, though with more sector concentration in mobility.
• Vanbreda Risk & Benefits: Vanbreda Risk & Benefits is a Benelux-focused independent insurance broker serving large enterprises with complex risk and employee benefit needs. Highly comparable to Holland Verzekeringsmakelaars in its enterprise-only orientation, multi-line portfolio (property, liability, marine, cyber, employee benefits), and emphasis on independent advice. Differs in geographic scope (Belgium-heavy) but operates in the same niche of specialized commercial brokerage for mid-to-large companies.
• Aon Netherlands (Aon Groep Nederland): Aon's Dutch operation is a global insurance brokerage leader serving large enterprises in the Netherlands across commercial insurance, risk management, and employee benefits. Directly competes with Holland Verzekeringsmakelaars for the same Dutch large-enterprise clients, but with vastly greater scale, international capabilities, and specialty resources. Represents the global incumbent against which Holland VM positions itself on independence and personal service.
