Founded in 2008, the company enables small businesses to compare quotes from multiple insurers and purchase cover online without requiring an intermediary. The platform supports 300,000+ Australian SME customers and has processed more than 650,000 policies through its proprietary technology. The platform serves multiple channels: a direct consumer-facing comparison marketplace, a B2B portal for insurance brokers (BizCover for Brokers), and a white-label product (ExpressCover) for insurers, brokers, and affinity partners. In December 2025, the company announced an AI-as-a-Service infrastructure called "AI Everywhere," embedding AI tooling across compliance, operations, marketing, and customer experience functions. The company has also expanded internationally into South Africa through a separate brand called Bi-me (Business Insurance Made Easy), partnering with Hollard Insurance and Discovery Insure. AUB Group (ASX: AUB), a major Australian insurance broker network, acquired a 40% strategic stake in BizCover in February 2020 for approximately AUD 132M, implying an enterprise valuation near AUD 330M. The company has grown to 201-500 employees and operates from offices in Sydney, Auckland, San Francisco, and South Africa. ## Products & services ### BizCover Direct An online comparison and purchasing platform for Australian SME business insurance.
