Groupe Plus

What Groupe Plus does

Groupe Plus is a Swiss independent financial advisory firm headquartered in Lausanne that delivers a coordinated 360° offering spanning mortgage brokerage, insurance, fiduciary/accounting, tax and legal, and family office services to individuals, families, and SMEs across French-speaking Switzerland. Founded in 2011 by Douglas Bergström, Livio Campagna, and Paulo de Sousa in Ecublens, the firm has since grown to operate seven branch offices (Lausanne HQ, Geneva, Fribourg, Neuchâtel, Nyon, Rolle, Bulle) under FINMA-licensed entities (PLUS-SA SA F01055633, Plus Financement immobilier SA F01430133, Plus Corporate Services F01254855) and ACA/Cicero-certified insurance specialists.

The firm's core products are organized into five sub-brands: Plus Real Estate Financing (mortgage brokerage and renewal), Plus Insurance & SMEs (brokerage for individuals and businesses), Plus Fiduciary (accounting, payroll, year-end closing), Plus Tax & Legal (personal and corporate tax advisory), and Plus Family Office (wealth structuring and estate planning), complemented by digital tools including a mortgage calculator, a WüestPartner-powered property valuation tool, and a real estate development coordination platform. Technology differentiation is primarily in self-serve feasibility tooling rather than proprietary core systems.

Groupe Plus generates revenue primarily through transaction-fee commissions on mortgage and insurance placements and professional-services fees for fiduciary, tax, legal, and family office engagements. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct-to-consumer, relying on branch-office advisory, a referral network across professional associations (ACA, Cicero), real estate agents and notaries, plus digital marketing (website, blog, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn) and TV/media appearances. The firm is privately held with no disclosed external institutional investors, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity, and continues to be operated by its partner base following co-founder Paulo de Sousa's departure.

Broad incumbents

• AXA Switzerland: Major Swiss insurer offering property, life, and health products plus pension and wealth solutions. A relevant incumbent in non-life and life insurance, with growing broker and digital advisory channels that intersect with Plus Insurance & SMEs' value proposition.
• Zurich Insurance Group: One of the world's largest insurance groups with a major Swiss retail and commercial insurance business. Serves as both a potential carrier partner and a broader incumbent in the insurance and financial advisory space Groupe Plus operates in.
• Swiss Life: One of Switzerland's largest insurance and pension providers, offering life insurance, wealth, and biometric pension products. A potential carrier partner for Plus Insurance & SMEs and a broader incumbent in adjacent product categories.
• Helvetia Insurance: Major Swiss insurance group offering non-life, life, and pension solutions, including SME-targeted products. A potential insurance carrier partner and a broader competitor in the Swiss insurance distribution ecosystem.
• Aon Switzerland: Global insurance brokerage and advisory firm with a substantial Swiss presence serving corporate and SME clients. Operates in the same insurance brokerage space as Plus Insurance & SMEs but at significantly larger scale and with broader international capabilities.

Direct peers

• Verlingue: French-headquartered insurance and employee benefits broker with Swiss operations (formerly AGERIP/Verlingue Suisse), serving SMEs and individuals. Comparable to Groupe Plus's Plus Insurance & SMEs division.
• Vermögenszentrum (VZM): Independent Swiss financial advisor offering mortgage, insurance, tax, and wealth planning services to individuals. Closely comparable multi-line independent advisory model serving the same Swiss retail and HNW segments.
• Moneypark: Swiss online mortgage and insurance brokerage platform that intermediates between consumers and Swiss banks/insurers, offering comparison and advisory tools. Highly comparable to Groupe Plus's mortgage brokerage and insurance divisions, though with a more digital-led model.
• Comparis: Switzerland's leading price-comparison portal covering mortgages, insurance, banking, and telecom. Direct competitor for consumer mindshare in mortgage and insurance brokerage across Suisse romande.

Others

• Wüest Partner: Leading Swiss real estate advisory and data firm whose property valuation tool is integrated into Groupe Plus's offering (Evaluation sommaire WüestPartner). Not a direct competitor but a strategic partner and adjacent ecosystem participant.
