Paris-based digital insurer Orus, has raised a €25 million Series B funding round to fuel international roll-out and launch a new broker platform built to modernise the SMB insurance distribution model.
Orus offers a fast, customer-first alternative that simplifies the complexity and inefficiencies traditionally associated with business insurance. In just 18 months since its Series A, Orus has grown revenue 10x and now protects over 30,000 businesses across Europe.
Côme Dartiguenave, CEO of Orus, said:
The SMB insurance sector is still dominated by legacy players offering opaque products, slow onboarding, poor customer service, and cumbersome claims processing. Orus leverages technology to provide simple, and transparent insurance solutions tailored precisely to the needs of small businesses.
Orus' platform leverages proprietary algorithms and over 300 data points, from financial health to climate risk and behavioural trends, to instantly assess risk and offer personalised coverage. This depth of insight allows the company to better underwrite complex products like decennial liability and business owner protection insurance.
Building on this capability, Orus provides industry-specific coverage designed to match each businessʼs unique risks.
The onboarding process takes less than 5 minutes, unlike the 2+ weeks common with traditional insurers. Claims are just as fast, usually settled in days instead of months. At the same time, Orus dedicates operational resources to claims management and loss ratio monitoring with a hands-on approach, leveraging advanced tools to closely track fraud exposure, detect trends early, and take proactive measures when needed.
Dartiguenave added:
Our new platform combines the speed and intelligence of our technology with brokersʼ trusted expertise, allowing them to serve clients faster and with a seamless digital experience.
International expansion and the launch of a broker platform
Spain is Orus's first move in its pan-European expansion strategy. Strong early results there have surpassed initial traction in France, confirming product-market fit beyond its home market. Building on this momentum, Orus plans to enter more European countries starting in 2026.
Alongside its direct-to-business model, Orus is unveiling a new cutting-edge broker platform. This new channel enables trusted intermediaries to easily quote, customise, and manage Orusʼs digital-first insurance products, streamlining the sales process.
The Serius B round is led by Singular, with participation from existing investors Notion Capital and Redstone.
Henri Tilloy, Partner at Singular, commented:
Orus is not just building a great product, they are defining a new category in commercial insurance. It is the first digital platform we have seen that truly serves the full breadth of the SME landscape, from independent professionals to construction crews to retail shops or chains, with a solution that is both comprehensive and intuitive, with a quote ready in 3 minutes online.
They are already adding thousands of new customers every month, growing faster than anything we have seen in the space, and this is only the beginning. This is a world-class team with a rare understanding of both the complexity and scale of the opportunity and the ambition to reshape the industry. We are proud to be by their side.
With its Series B funding, Orus is doubling down on its mission: to make business insurance simple, smart, and scalable.
