Insights into the Benelux insurance market and analyzing acquisition targets
An international Private Equity (PE) fund was looking to enter the Benelux insurance market and wanted to explore the buy-and-build opportunities in the broker landscape. Our client wished to understand the current developments in the Benelux broker market and the opportunities that it presented for them in the future.
