Insight Insurance

What Insight Insurance does

Insight Insurance is a Cork-based insurance brokerage that has provided personal and commercial insurance products in Ireland since 2002. Following its 2025 acquisition by Arachas Corporate Brokers Limited, the brand now operates as a sub-brand within Arachas, which is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland and is described as Ireland's largest nationwide insurance brokerage with over 50 years of experience. The product portfolio spans vehicle, home, property, liability, farm, and business insurance lines, delivered to individual consumers and small-to-mid business customers.

The firm's business model is a traditional insurance brokerage intermediary model. Revenue is generated through commissions from insurance carriers when policies are placed and renewed, with premiums calculated via quote-based pricing that reflects customer risk profile, coverage requirements, and underwriting criteria. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and billing cadence is annual. Customer acquisition is sales-led, conducted via a published phone line (021 429 9002) and online quote request forms on the website; the firm does not appear to use app-based or embedded distribution channels.

Operationally, Insight Insurance is headquartered at 9 Eastgate Avenue, Eastgate Business Park, Little Island, Cork (T45 YN92), with a headcount in the 11-50 range. There are no disclosed proprietary technology assets, AI/ML capabilities, patents, or third-party integrations in the source data. Marketing and distribution activities have been consolidated under the Arachas brand following the acquisition, and the company is no longer reporting as an independent operating entity.
