Brokers in Excellence is een netwerk van onafhankelijke
verzekeringsmakelaars in België, gericht op het behoud van
autonomie en identiteit. De leden werken samen om hun kennis te
delen en hun diensten te optimaliseren, met als resultaat betere
prestaties en een op maat gemaakte service voor elke klant.

Ons verhaal: recent, maar ambitieus
en toekomstgericht

Eind 2024 richten Filip Balcaen en Baltisse samen het nieuwe netwerk Brokers in Excellence op, als antwoord op de golf van fusies en overnames die de verzekeringsmakelaars overspoelt. 

Steeds meer kleine en middelgrote verzekeringsmakelaars zetten hun zaak in de etalage omdat ze geen opvolger vinden of de sterk stijgende kosten, veroorzaakt door strengere regelgeving en digitalisering, niet kunnen dragen.

Deze situatie biedt grote spelers in de sector kansen om hun aanwezigheid uit te breiden. De afgelopen jaren zijn grote makelaarsbedrijven, al dan niet gesteund door nationale en buitenlandse investeerders, volop beginnen aankopen, waardoor het aantal transacties sterk is toegenomen. In deze context onderscheidt Brokers in Excellence (BiE) zich door zijn waarden. BiE werd opgericht door drie regionale makelaarskantoren: Sharp Insurance Brokers (Oudenarde), Huysman Verzekeringen (Eeklo) et Jean Crab & Ses Fils (Brussel). Sindsdien zijn al meerdere makelaars bij het initiatief aangesloten.

Onze missie
en onze waarden

Brokers in Excellence wil een geloofwaardig alternatief zijn voor de traditionele consolidatiemodellen

Met een sterke ambitie: op termijn uitgroeien tot een van de toonaangevende spelers op de Belgische markt.

Met Baltisse als investeerder: een solide Belgisch family office, lokaal verankerd, gericht op de lange termijn, gedreven door ondernemerschap, met ruime ervaring in platformen en een sterk potentieel voor synergieën.

Door regionale leiders samen te brengen – vandaag zijn al een tiental partners mee in het verhaal gestapt!

Een duidelijke ambitie: deze leiders ondersteunen met gedeelde diensten, uitwisseling van expertise, geavanceerde technologische tools en financiële ondersteuning om alle groeibarrières via overnames weg te nemen.

Brokers in Excellence heeft als doel een toonaangevende onafhankelijke verzekeringsmakelaar te worden, gericht op kmo’s, mede-eigendommen (VME’s), vrije beroepen en kwaliteitsvolle particulieren. Dit gebeurt op basis van regionaal ondernemerschap, lokale verankering en commerciële autonomie.

Toegang tot een expertisecentrum met een brede waaier aan sectorkennis en ervaring in gespecialiseerde risico’s.

Brokers in Excellence streeft ernaar een technologiegedreven organisatie te worden, waarbij technologie zowel de klanten als de interne werking ten goede komt. We willen de voorkeurspartner en vertrouwenspersoon van onze klanten worden door dicht bij hen te staan.

Dat willen we bereiken via een sterke en persoonlijke relatie, een uitzonderlijk serviceniveau en uitstekend advies.
