Trust Risk Control

YOA Insurance Brokers is a member of Trust Risk Control (TRC), a global broker alliance headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, with member brokers and service partners in more than 180 countries. Established in 1998 by Christoph Baltsch after two decades in international broking, TRC was created as a deliberate alternative to the large, centralised global broker chains built around the belief that independent brokers, working together in a coordinated alliance, can deliver multinational insurance solutions without surrendering their independence or local expertise. For YOA’s clients, this means access to a genuine global footprint while working with a brokerage that remains Nigerian in ownership, regulation, and service culture.

An Independent Alliance with Global Reach

TRC is one of the largest independent broker networks in the world. The alliance brings together more than 380 member firms and service partners, with approximately 37,000 employees, 1,200 offices, and around USD 63 billion in combined premium volume. Rather than operating as a single corporate entity, TRC functions as the coordinator, organiser, and supervisor of the network running international insurance programmes, overseeing multinational placements, and managing the flow of information and documentation between member brokers in different countries.

What This Partnership Means for YOA Clients

Through TRC, YOA can serve Nigerian businesses with international exposure without the coordination gaps that often plague cross-border insurance. When a client has a risk, asset, employee, or subsidiary abroad, we engage directly with a vetted TRC member broker in that country ensuring local regulatory compliance, local policy issuance, and a local partner who genuinely understands that market, while we retain oversight of the overall programme from Nigeria. Our TRC membership reflects something YOA values deeply: the best of a global network combined with the accountability and cultural familiarity of a Nigerian broker who knows your business, your regulators, and your market.
