About Barbon
We are riskologists, combining centuries of collective craftsmanship with modern data capabilities. Our name is a tribute to Nicholas Barbon, the pioneer of modern insurance. And just like him, we choose to look forward, not backward.
We are personal, to the point, and consistently challenge the status quo—because things can always be done differently, and better. That is how we deliver the best results for you.
Who was Nicholas Barbon?
Our name is no coincidence; it is a tribute to Nicholas Barbon. After the devastating Great Fire of London in 1666, he knew things had to change. In 1680, he founded the world’s very first fire insurance company.
Barbon was a true pioneer who relied strictly on calculations and facts. Today, we bring that exact same energy and methodology back to the market. By combining his analytical spirit with today's technology, we deliver the certainty of tomorrow.
Our approach
In control in a changing world
Organizations evolve, and risks evolve with them. Barbon provides control, grip, and agility in a market that never stands still. Whether navigating complex corporate interests or the specific social mandates of housing associations and municipalities: we deliver the certainty you need to achieve your goals.
Data with a human touch
Our approach combines hands-on advice with the power of data. Rather than just looking back, we actively anticipate tomorrow's challenges. For us, innovation is never an end in itself—it is a tool to empower your team and deliver targeted results.
Sustainable certainty
As a B Corp, we believe in risk solutions that are both highly effective today and socially responsible for the long term. This gives you the peace of mind to look forward with confidence, knowing your risk management meets the highest standards of today and tomorrow.

Our purpose
Personal & dedicated
Business is personal. We build genuine relationships and know your risk profile inside out. To us, you are a partner, not just a client. You get direct contact with our risk experts and a warm welcome at our offices. Drop by anytime, the coffee is ready
Driven by facts
To measure is to know. We do not rely blindly on assumptions and intuition. Instead, like Nicholas Barbon, we use smart data analytics to make risks transparent and manageable. This allows us to use past insights to confidently chart your future course and adjust where necessary
Riskologists
We prefer to call ourselves riskologists rather than advisers. For us, your risk is the starting point, not the policy. We ask critical questions and tell it like it is in plain language. By managing risks first and insuring them only when necessary, we discover how things can be done differently. And better.
