As soon as you send employees abroad, carry out international projects, or do business outside Belgium, it is important to properly cover your international risks.

Solutions
International business
International business offers many opportunities but also brings specific risks. From business trips abroad and international liability to kidnapping, political unrest, or medical emergencies: a standard insurance policy often provides insufficient protection for these situations.
Van Dessel supports internationally active companies with specialized insurance solutions and a global network of reliable partners, so you can count on the right support anywhere in the world.
International risks require a specialized approach
Companies that operate internationally face risks that go beyond national borders. Employees travel abroad, projects are carried out internationally, and activities take place in regions with varying laws and safety risks.
That’s why we offer specialized insurance solutions tailored to international operations. Thanks to our extensive network of international insurance partners, we can efficiently manage and support both local and global risks.
Why insure internationally?
Worldwide protection
Your company and employees are also insured outside Belgium against the specific risks associated with international business.
Tailor-made solutions
No two businesses are the same. That’s why we tailor the coverage entirely to your activities, destinations and international risks.
Local expertise, global network
Through international networks such as Brokerslink, Asinta, Trust Risk Control, MIN Media Insurance, and Aesis Network, we have access to reliable local partners and specialized expertise in more than a hundred countries.
One central point of contact
You retain a single trusted contact person at Van Dessel, while we handle international coordination and cooperation with our foreign partners.
What are the biggest risks?
Companies that operate internationally face, among other things:
- Medical emergencies during business trips abroad
- Political unrest, terrorism, or natural disasters
- Kidnapping, extortion, or hostage-taking in high-risk areas
- Differences in local legislation and insurance requirements
- Complex international claims
- Support during crisis situations abroad
With the right insurance solutions, you can limit the financial impact and ensure that your employees and company quickly receive the necessary support.
International business requires international expertise. Thanks to our global network, we combine local knowledge with central guidance from Belgium.
