What Van der Voort Groep does

Van der Voort Groep is a privately held Dutch financial services provider founded in 1988 in Schagen, North Holland, operating as Van der Voort Tussenholding BV with a six-person team. The company specializes exclusively in financial services and insurance products tailored for Dutch staffing agencies that employ foreign temporary workers, a niche it has occupied since the late 1990s after divesting its generalist regional intermediation business to Verheul Groep in 2019. Its product portfolio rests on four interconnected pillars: a collective health insurance product (Collectieve Zorgverzekering) under an exclusive partnership with Zorg en Zekerheid that supports daily enrollment and cancellation; the proprietary UZBpayportal payment platform built to comply with the Wet aanpak schijnconstructies; ARBO, verzuim, ZW and WGA occupational-health and disability-risk services featuring a phase-based pricing methodology that differentiates risk across temporary-worker employment phases; and tailored business and private insurance products covering liability, fleet, property, and DGA personal coverage. Underlying technology consists of proprietary web-portal systems integrated with staffing-agency payroll and planning software packages, with multilingual documentation supporting the foreign-worker user base.

The company generates revenue through recurring commissions and fees on insurance premiums and on managed service contracts (ARBO, verzuimbegeleiding, ZW and WGA administration), with pricing negotiated per client on a consultative basis. Its go-to-market is relationship-led direct sales — account management and advisory engagement with HR and finance decision-makers at Dutch staffing agencies — supplemented by its website and regional triathlon sponsorships that provide brand visibility within the Kop van Noord-Holland business community. The Convenant with the Belastingdienst (Dutch Tax Authority) enables compliant facilitation of healthcare allowances (zorgtoeslag) for foreign temporary workers. The company is founder-led by Willem van der Voort, has no external institutional investment, no disclosed revenue figures, and operates as a single-country, single-vertical specialist.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• ADP Netherlands: Global payroll and HR services provider with Dutch operations offering employer-of-record-style administration and benefits support. Comparable as a large-scale payroll/HR administration provider whose staffing-agency clients sit in the same buyer ecosystem Van der Voort serves.
• SD Worx: European HR, payroll, and workforce solutions provider with strong Benelux presence serving employers including temporary-work agencies. Overlaps with Van der Voort in offering HR/benefits administration services to staffing firms, though at much larger scale and broader scope.
• Willis Towers Watson Netherlands: Global advisory and insurance brokerage with a Dutch entity offering health, group benefits, and risk solutions to employers. Comparable in employer-facing group health and benefits intermediation, though focused on larger multinational employers rather than staffing-agency niche.
• Aon Netherlands: Global insurance and risk broker with a Netherlands presence serving large corporate and mid-market clients, including staffing-sector accounts. Comparable as an insurance intermediary for staffing agencies, though Van der Voort is far more specialized in foreign temporary-worker insurance.
• Marsh Netherlands: Major international insurance broker with Dutch operations offering risk, insurance, and advisory services to employers. Overlaps with Van der Voort in intermediating insurance for staffing firms but operates a much broader portfolio across industries.

Others

• Zorg en Zekerheid: Dutch statutory health insurer and Van der Voort's exclusive partner for collective health insurance to foreign temporary workers. Not a competitor but an ecosystem participant and primary supplier; understanding Zorg en Zekerheid is essential to sizing the partnership concentration risk.

Direct peers

• AFAS Software: Dutch HR and payroll software vendor widely used by mid-market employers, including staffing agencies, with built-in HR, salary, and absence workflows. Comparable because AFAS is one of the payroll/planning systems Van der Voort's products integrate with, making it an adjacent vendor serving the same staffing-agency buyer.
• Visma Raet: Leading Dutch HR, payroll, and workforce software provider serving staffing agencies with integrated solutions including benefits and absence management. Direct peer because Van der Voort's UZBpayportal and collective health insurance platform integrate with payroll and planning software — overlapping vendor and integration counterparties for the same staffing-agency buyer.
• Voogd & Voogd Verzekeringen: Dutch insurance broker specializing in SME and sector-specific commercial insurance packages, with deep ties to trade and employer associations. Comparable as a Netherlands-based insurance intermediary serving SME/employer segments, though not focused specifically on the foreign temporary-worker staffing niche.
• Visma YouForce: Dutch HR and employee-experience platform under Visma serving employer HR, benefits, and absence workflows with strong staffing-sector adoption. Comparable because it sits in the same HR/benefits admin layer that Van der Voort's collective health insurance and verzuim products plug into for the staffing-agency buyer.
