I am translating some documents for a company which offers insurance products from various insurance companies. The insurance providers can be any of these companies but they do not necessarily underwrite the insurances they offer. This is the problem I have.

verzekeringsmaatschappijen
'verzekeringsmaatschappijen' of ' verzekeraars'.
Your explanation makes it clear:
Since 'the insurance providers can be any of these companies', you're referring to 'the various insurance companies' and not to the company offering the insurance products.
Hence, the translation can't be 'verzekeringsmakelaars'(the middlemen) but has to be 'verzekeringsmaatschappijen'.
