Brokerslink Network

YOA Insurance Brokers is a partner of Brokerslink, one of the world’s leading independent global broking businesses, with an active presence in more than 130 countries. Headquartered in Switzerland and built around a network of 56 independent broking shareholders across five continents, Brokerslink was created as a credible alternative to the world’s largest centralised broking groups, combining the global reach of a major international broker with the local market expertise and accountability of independent firms in each country. For our clients, our Brokerslink partnership delivers exactly what Nigerian businesses with international exposure increasingly need: the structure of a global programme, the discipline of a well-managed network, and the steadiness of a local broker who actually knows their business.

A Different Kind of Global Broking Network

Brokerslink is not a loose association of brokers who happen to know each other. Incorporated in Switzerland, it has a distinctive cross-shareholding structure under which partners hold equity in Brokerslink and in each other, creating a genuine unity of purpose without compromising the independence of any individual firm. Together, the network owns and manages a worldwide ecosystem of retail brokers, specialist brokers, specialist companies, and technology firms across approximately 133 countries including a meaningful African footprint with partners and affiliates in around 41 countries on the continent.

What This Partnership Means for YOA Clients

For YOA clients, the Brokerslink partnership translates directly into stronger international programme capability. When a Nigerian business has assets, operations, suppliers, or employees beyond Nigeria, we can coordinate with a Brokerslink partner broker in the relevant country to design and place locally compliant cover that connects to the broader programme we manage from Lagos. This means consistent service standards, structured documentation, and a single point of accountability with YOA rather than the fragmented experience that comes from juggling unconnected brokers in different countries. Our Brokerslink partnership reflects the standard we hold ourselves to as YOA: globally connected, technically capable, and Nigerian in identity. It allows us to bring our clients the reach of a multinational broking giant without asking them to trade away the relationship, responsiveness, and local accountability that come with working with an independent Nigerian broker.
