Wholesale insurance for brokers
Specialist placement support and access to Lloyd’s and London markets, built around you and your clients.
Some risks are harder to place than others
Not every risk fits neatly into the standard market. A non-standard property, a specialist contractor, an emerging sector or a more challenging claims history can all make cover difficult to secure, and leave you at risk of losing the client.
When a risk is complex, non-standard or difficult to place, the right wholesale partner can help you explore specialist markets and understand what options may be available. For 30 years, NFP has helped brokers across Ireland write the business they might otherwise have to decline, combining stronger insurer relationships, specialist underwriting expertise, and a responsive, broker-first service.
We give you access to Lloyd’s, London and specialist markets, alongside underwriters who understand complex risks and can help assess whether suitable placement options may be available. We work as an extension of your team, not in competition with you. Your client relationship stays yours; we bring the market access, technical know-how and practical support to help you explore suitable placement options for your clients.
This support can help you respond to more complex client needs, explore specialist market options and strengthen the service you provide to your clients.

Why specialist wholesale support matters
Without the right placement partner, hard-to-place risks can cost you time, revenue and, in the worst case, the client relationship you have worked hard to build. A specialist wholesaler can help you access suitable markets, secure responses more quickly, explore solutions for challenging placements and maintain ownership of your client relationships while benefiting from specialist market expertise.
Some of the challenges brokers face include:
- Risks that may fall outside standard market appetite
- Non-standard property, unoccupied property or building-regulation issues
- Specialist and emerging sectors with limited market appetite
- Tight client deadlines and tight client deadlines and placement timescales
- A need for capacity beyond the local market
The right wholesale partner can help you:
- Explore options for risks you might otherwise have to decline
- Access Lloyd’s, London and specialist markets through one relationship
- Get underwriting input and clear documentation support to help progress suitable cases
- Strengthen client conversations and support new business opportunities
- Keep full ownership of your client relationship throughout
