Overview

BizCover is a digital distribution platform for small and medium enterprise (SME) business insurance, operating primarily in Australia and New Zealand. 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.
