Costa Serra

What Costa Serra does

Costa Serra Correduria de Seguros, S.L.U. is a Catalan insurance brokerage (correduría de seguros) founded on 11 January 1993 and headquartered in Badalona, Spain, with two additional delegation offices in Manresa and Gavà. The firm operates as a multi-line intermediary placing business with over 50 Spanish and international insurance carriers including Adeslas, Aegon, Allianz, Axa, Mapfre, Sanitas, Zurich, FIATC, DKV, Generali, Liberty, Arag, Chubb, and Coface. Its product portfolio spans personal lines (health, life, accident, death, travel, caravan/motorhome, personal mobility vehicles), commercial lines (SME package, credit, cyber, liability), and specialty covers (sick-leave for the self-employed, motorcycle, surety), with distribution delivered through in-person advisory at the three offices, a trilingual website, and online quote-and-enrollment tools linking to partner carrier portals.

The company employs 40+ professionals organized into specialized departments (health, credit, cybersecurity, SME, personal insurance) and markets itself as a 360° advisor rather than a transactional agent, providing claims management and annual policy reviews as retention mechanisms. Revenue is generated on a commission basis regulated by the Spanish Insurance Contract Law, with premiums individualized to client risk profiles and annual billing cadence. Costa Serra is registered in Spain's Special Administrative Registry of Insurance Mediators (key J0855), holds professional liability insurance under RD 3/2020, and is GDPR-compliant.

In October 2025, the firm was acquired by German insurance group GGW, backed by private equity firms Permira and Hg Capital, with Forvis Mazars advising GGW on the transaction. The deal positions Costa Serra as GGW's Spanish platform for further Iberian expansion under a roll-up strategy. Post-acquisition, Costa Serra continues to operate under its existing brand and management structure.

Others

• ARAG SE: Legal protection and assistance insurance specialist that is both a Costa Serra distribution partner and an adjacent provider of niche insurance products; useful as an ecosystem comparator for specialty lines.

Emerging players

• WeFox: European insurtech/digital insurance platform operating in Spain; competes with traditional brokers like Costa Serra by enabling direct and digital insurance distribution, particularly relevant for the personal mobility and cyber lines.

Broad incumbents

• Howden Iberia: International insurance broker with an Iberian platform that has grown via acquisitions of regional brokerages; directly comparable to Costa Serra's role as a regional Spanish broker being acquired by a larger group (GGW).
• Marsh Spain: Global insurance broker and risk advisor with a Spanish presence; competes in commercial insurance placement and risk advisory where Costa Serra also serves SME clients, but Marsh operates at far larger enterprise scale.
• Grupo Catalana Occidente: Spanish insurance group with multiple brokerage and direct insurance brands, headquartered in Catalonia; competes with Costa Serra for SME and individual insurance customers in the same regional market.
• Willis Towers Watson Spain: Global advisory and insurance brokerage with Spanish operations offering risk, reinsurance, and broking services; overlaps with Costa Serra's advisory and brokerage functions for commercial clients.
• Aon Spain: Global insurance brokerage and advisory firm with significant Spain operations, serving both commercial and personal lines; overlaps with Costa Serra in advisory positioning and carrier-agnostic brokerage model, but at vastly larger scale.

Direct peers

• Pont Grup: Catalan insurance brokerage and mutual group; similar regional footprint and multi-product advisory focus to Costa Serra, serving individuals, autónomos, and SMEs in Catalonia.
• Hispamer Correduría de Seguros: Spanish insurance brokerage serving SMEs, autónomos, and individuals across Spain with a multi-carrier advisory model closely mirroring Costa Serra's 360-degree approach.
• SUSB Financor (Acrisure Iberia): Spanish insurance brokerage (now part of Acrisure) offering multi-line insurance placement for individuals and businesses; a comparable independent Spanish broker that has itself pursued growth via acquisition.
