BIG Insurance Brokers

What BIG Insurance Brokers does

BIG Insurance Brokers S.r.l. is an independent Italian insurance brokerage firm founded in 2000 and headquartered in Pusiano (Como), with operational offices in Milano (Viale Bianca Maria) and Lecco. The firm operates as a multi-carrier broker registered in Section B of the Italian R.U.I. (Registro Unico Intermediari) under number B000430587, with Andrea Bazzani serving as the legal representative responsible for intermediary activity. It serves four customer segments — individuals, self-employed professionals, businesses, and high-net-worth clients (Luxury Lines) — distributing a broad portfolio that spans life, health, home, auto, pet, travel, and accident insurance for individuals; RC Professionale, D&O, legal protection, and health expense coverage for professionals; and keyman, multi-risk business, surety bonds, CAR/decennial post-completion, cyber risk, corporate welfare, environmental liability, and business interruption coverage for companies, plus a wealth-protection arm covering HNWI art, valuables, and life-savings products.

Revenue is generated through commissions paid by ~25 insurance partners — including Allianz, AIG, MetLife, Zurich, Helvetia, SwissLife, Tokio Marine, Lombard International Assurance, Reale Mutua, and Italiana Assicurazioni — for policies placed and renewed. Go-to-market combines physical retail offices in Lombardy city centers, a nationwide broker/agent recruitment network, direct phone, WhatsApp, email, and online appointment booking, supplemented by content marketing, event sponsorships, and organic social. There is no proprietary technology platform, AI/ML capability, mobile app, or public API; operations are sales-led and human-advisory. Two sub-brands ('BIG Brokers Health' for health distribution and 'Big Risparmio' for savings and investment products) were launched in 2024. A strategic alliance with Marsh supports specialized RC professionale placements and joint educational events for accountants, lawyers, and surveyors.

The firm is privately held (S.r.l. — Società a responsabilità limitata) with a registered share capital of €10,000 and no disclosed external investors, parent company, or M&A activity. Headcount is 15 employees, financial figures are not publicly disclosed, and no funding rounds have been raised; pricing is fully bespoke with no public tiers offered. Regulatory standing is maintained through IVASS registration and participation in the Arbitrato Assicurativo external dispute resolution channel.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Prima Assicurazioni: Italian insurtech specializing in auto and home insurance with a fully digital buying experience. Comparable to BIG on retail personal lines but with a contrasting direct-to-consumer, technology-led model that pressures traditional intermediaries.
• Yolo: Italian insurtech offering embedded and on-demand insurance products. Comparable as an emerging digital distribution player in the same Italian insurance market, with overlap on travel, pet, and personal lines.
• Ibroker: Italian fintech-driven multi-carrier insurance broker with a digital-first distribution model. Competes with BIG on personal lines (auto, home, health) and increasingly on professional lines, representing the digital-native threat to traditional brokers.

Broad incumbents

• Zurich Italia: Italian operations of Zurich Insurance, providing direct P&C and life coverage to retail and corporate clients. Like Allianz, it is both a BIG partner and a broad incumbent competing through direct distribution.
• Allianz Italia: Italian arm of global insurer Allianz, offering direct life, P&C and health products. Although also a BIG partner, it competes via direct channels and captive agents with much larger scale and brand recognition across Italy.
• Willis Towers Watson Italia: Italian presence of WTW delivering insurance brokerage, advisory, and risk management to corporate and professional clients. Comparable to BIG on commercial and specialty lines but with much broader scale and global capabilities.
• Aon Italia: Italian operations of global broker Aon providing commercial insurance brokerage, reinsurance, and human capital solutions. Comparable as a broad incumbent offering many of the same product lines (D&O, cyber, professional liability) to large corporate and professional clients.

Direct peers

• Assiteca: One of the largest Italian insurance broker groups, offering multi-line brokerage to businesses and professionals across Italy. Closest direct comparison to BIG in terms of multi-brand brokerage model serving SMEs, professionals, and HNWI clients.
• Marsh S.p.A. Italian subsidiary of global broker Marsh, offering commercial, professional liability, and risk consulting services to Italian businesses and professionals. Both a competitor and a strategic partner for BIG; directly comparable in professional lines and corporate risk placement.
• Gai Brokers: Italian independent insurance brokerage serving private clients, professionals, and businesses with a multi-carrier model similar to BIG. Comparable in customer segmentation, product breadth, and Italian regional focus.
