Le secteur des assurances a considérablement évolué ces vingt dernières années.

Autrefois, il était courant de compter une petite centaine de compagnie d'assurances dans un pays de la taille de la Belgique.

Mais les contraintes imposées par les directives européennes en matière de durée des contrat d'assurances ont gonflé considérablement l'échange de correspondances avec les assurés, grevant lourdement le budget des petites compagnies en frais postaux et en heures de travail.

Les petites compagnies ont petit a petit revendu leur portefeuille à des compagnies plus aptes à faire face à ces problèmes.

Les risques simples concerne principalement les particuliers, les indépendants, et les petites entreprises pratiquant une activité ne sortant pas trop de l'ordinaire.

Les risques spéciaux concerne des secteurs d'activité très pointus, ou dont le risques est diffcilement assurable par les compagnies qui ne s'intéressent qu'au '"Mass market".
