What does this mean for corporate customers?

In business insurance, customization is essential. The cooperation between Claeren and Baloise ensures that clients with diverse risk profiles always receive a suitable solution. Power of attorney insurances offer fast and efficient coverage, where Claeren - on behalf of the insurer - can independently issue policies and handle claims. Bourse insurance (co-insurance) is precisely for more complex or larger risks, where several insurers offer coverage together.

Within this partnership, clients can count on a seamless transition from proxy to the exchange facility, depending on the complexity and size of the risk. This means that a company initially requiring standard fire insurance can effortlessly scale up to a more customized solution within the exchange as it grows or its risk profile changes.

"With this cooperation we take an important step in realizing our vision to offer innovative and customer-oriented solutions to the Dutch business market. We are proud of Baloise's trust in us and look forward to a successful partnership," said Klaudia den Ouden, Manager Broking at Claeren.

Stronger position in the Dutch insurance market

For Baloise, one of the largest non-life insurers in Belgium, this partnership means a strengthening of its position in the Dutch insurance world.

"Thanks to the partnership with Claeren, we are strengthening our position in the Dutch proxy and exchange market, in which we have already been active for several years. We have full confidence in the professionalism of the Dutch proxy world and look forward to a long-term cooperation with Claeren," said Johan De Kerpel, Manager Underwriting Agencies at Baloise.
