MARKET SITUATION

The average long-term disability rate among self-employed individuals insured by Dutch insurance companies typically ranges from 1.5% to 2.5%. This variation depends on factors such as age, occupation, and chosen coverage, as reported by KPMG, Dutch Association of Insurers, and DNB.

Currently, absenteeism due to illness is lowest among self-employed individuals at 1.7%, compared to 3.8% for medium-sized companies and 5.2% for large companies. Despite this, many self-employed individuals struggle to afford disability insurance, which they seek at reasonable conditions and costs throughout their careers.

TRUE P2P RISK SHARING 

P2P risk sharing offers a solution by eliminating the conflicts of interest and profit drivennes inherent in traditional insurance models. This approach provide disability insurance to millions of self-employed individuals at premiums at least 60% lower than traditional insurers.

For example, assuming 100 in risk sharing participating self-employed individuals, an average absence rate of 4%, and a benefit of €2,000 per disabled person per month, these 100 participants would need to share a monthly amount of €8,000, or €80 per person. The sharing payments are age-related, starting at €5 for an 18-year-old and increasing by €3 annually, up to €155 a month for a 67-year-old.

In P2P risk sharing, there is no traditional insurer or reinsurer involved. The risk sharing payments are used exclusively for claims, ensuring that the interests of the risk sharing participants are prioritized, unlike traditional insurance where unused premiums cover overhead, operational costs, profits, and taxes.

TESTIMONIALS

Sandra from Eindhoven: I was initially skeptical about using a new type of insurance, but RiskShare really surprised me. My premium is significantly lower than before, and when I had a question, my advisor responded quickly and explained everything clearly. The ability to adjust my coverage through a simple survey gives me the feeling that I'm truly in control. It feels great to be part of a more modern way of handling insurance.

HOW THE RISKSHARE PLATFORM WORKS

             

• ADVISORY SUBSCRIPTION: Local RiskShare Advisors, anywhere in the world, working together in local franchise partnerships, advise the local public on p2p risk sharing, and offer to organize this for them after they subscribe to a daily cancellable advisory and management service. You can change advisors at any time.

• RISK SHARING CLOSING: After taking out the subscription, the participants / members / clients or whatever name you prefer, can instantly close, pay, claim, and cancel the desired risk sharing schemes all by themselves in just minutes with nothing more than a smartphone and the internet. Once the AI-driven closure process or cancellation is completed, the direct debit or cancellation will be handled fully automatically from their bank account or credit card, without any human involvement.

• RISK SHARING PAYMENTS: The monthly risk sharing payments are variable and automatically (re)calculated daily based on the claims paid out within that scheme that day. No human intervention is involved. At the end of each day, the balance of payments received and claims paid is zero. To moderate peaks and troughs, maximum and minimum limits can be set, allowing claims paid to be spread over subsequent days. All parties involved have visibility of all transactions stored on the private blockchain. 

• RISK SHARING CLAIMS: Clients submit claims to their advisor through AI. The advisor assesses the claim, in collaboration with a local expert, who is randomly and automatically designated by the platform and has the final vote. While the advisor represents his client's interests, the expert acts on behalf of all the participants in the scheme, ensuring their interests are represented and protected. The expert creates a payment link. The advisor approves the link. The client agrees to the claim settlement by activating the link using biometrics, and transferring the claim payment to their bank account or credit card. If the client does not agree, they may choose to switch advisors and restart the claim process. The expert's fees are borne by the advisor and paid in advance, regardless of whether payouts follow. This process avoids conflicts of interest.

• RISK SHARING SURVEYS: Local franchise partnerships conduct surveys to gauge client preferences regarding privacy rules and  risk sharing terms. If the majority of clients prefer specific rules and terms, these are recorded in the smart contracts. This allows clients to determine the risk sharing terms and payments themselves. More restrictive or generous terms lead to fewer or more claims, and consequently lower or higher risk sharing payments. Note that RiskShare Networks do not have legal status, so regulation is solely the responsibility of the participants.

• PLATFORM FEES: Advisors pay a platform fee per client for the risk sharing technology, the collection of their subscriptions. and for the execution of client surveys. The advisors are the first and only point of contact and responsible for their clients. Therefore the advisors bear the the variable costs of their services, which include back-office functions like customer support, local marketing, and client management. P2P risk sharing is not a product so advisors do not need any licenses.

• FRANCHISE PARTNERSHIPS: Advisors jointly own their local franchise partnership and are both collectively and individually responsible for its success. The partnerships are responsible for providing education and training to their advisors and experts and for setting the requirements and conditions for the entry of new advisors and experts. They also set the criteria for the forced exit of poorly performing advisors and experts.

• SOCIAL MEDIA: The platform enables seamless interaction among members, advisors, and experts through integrated social media features, that can be configured as public, members-only, or private. Members can contact each other, share information in a feed, and rate advisors and experts. Advisors can provide details about their expertise, share updates on risk sharing, and offer personal information. This collaboration fosters a dynamic community where knowledge and experiences can be easily exchanged.

• REGULATIONS: The RiskShare Networks function as true P2P risk sharing entities, distinct from traditional insurers or reinsurers, and operate without collecting premiums or holding reserves. The Networks facilitate real time risk sharing among participants, with payments recalculated daily to match the daily claim payouts, ensuring they are always aligned. There are no garantees from the Neworks themselves. RiskShare Advisors provide guidance without selling financial products, ensuring that the Networks remain outside the scope of conventional insurance regulations and licenses.   

• PRIVATE BLOCKCHAIN:

1. Blockchain are hash-linked transactions that cannot be changed or deleted
2. Private by participation of only uniquely identified and approved participants
3. Uniquely identified by biometric technology and approved by the advisor
4. Authentication is required before a transaction is added to the blockchain
5. All parties involved have visibility of all transactions stored on the blockchain
6. Blockchain ensures a faultless, secure, and transparent risk sharing process
