What Ib Partners Oy does

IB Partners Oy is an independent Finnish insurance brokerage and risk management consulting firm headquartered at Fredrikinkatu 61 A, 00100 Helsinki. The firm is registered as an insurance broker with the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority (Finanssivalvonta, registration 791728) and operates as a privately held boutique partnership with a team of five professionals: Managing Partner Petri Selin, Partners Matti Vimpeli and Mikael Cronstedt, and Senior Advisors Ville Valta and Sauli Vimpeli. The team holds a combined 110+ years of experience spanning claims, underwriting, risk consultancy, multinational program broking, and M&A insurance advisory.

The company's core offerings are insurance brokering, risk management consulting, claims handling, training, and specialized advisory across M&A transactions, project insurance, energy and infrastructure, cyber, D&O, environmental liability, and special-risk lines (K&R, political risk, terrorism). IB Partners designs, structures, places, and negotiates insurance programs in both domestic and international markets, and manages international programs through its membership in the AESIS broker network, which provides coordinated service in roughly 80 countries. The firm also delivers M&A insurance due diligence and Warranty & Indemnity advisory, with disclosed mandates in food processing (Viking Malt), renewables (Taaleri SolarWind II), real estate (Duetto Park), and healthcare (Grundium).

IB Partners generates revenue from two streams: insurance brokerage commissions on policies placed with domestic and international insurers, and risk management consulting/advisory fees for ongoing mandates and project-based work (M&A due diligence, project finance insurance, infrastructure advisory). The firm uses a sales-led, direct consultative go-to-market targeting corporate clients across all industries and sizes in Finland, with no self-serve, marketplace, or channel-partner distribution. Marketing relies on thought-leadership content (Finnish and English blogs), professional speaking engagements (e.g., Finnish Bar Association training), and earned media via deal announcements. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.
