PUECHBLANC & ASSOCIÉS

What PUECHBLANC & ASSOCIÉS does

PUECHBLANC & ASSOCIÉS (legal entity: SARL OLIVIER PUECHBLANC) is a French insurance brokerage (courtier en assurances) operating under the brand "Courtier 2.0." Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Balma near Toulouse, the firm maintains a second office in Strasbourg opened in 2020. It is registered with ORIAS under number 1005634 and is supervised by the Autorité de Contrôle Prudentiel et de Résolution. The firm is structured as a SARL with €100,000 in share capital and reports a headcount of approximately 5 employees, led by founder Olivier Puechblanc, managing partner Philippe Salasc, and intermediary Mario Pasten.

The brokerage distributes insurance and assistance products from more than 25 partner carriers — including Allianz, AXA, Generali, Cardif, Chubb, MetLife, QBE, SwissLife, Malakoff Humanis, and MSH International — across six core product lines: Assurance affinitaire (custom affinity/white-label insurance for large accounts); Immobilier & Construction (multi-risk building insurance, unpaid rent guarantees, construction insurance including Dommages Ouvrage, TRC, CNR, and developer financial completion guarantees); Entreprise & Association (property, liability, executive protection, and fleet coverage from 3 vehicles); Expatriation & Voyage (individual, family, group, and student coverage abroad); Assurance Emprunteur (individual and collective borrower insurance for real estate loans, with a digitalized workflow); and Assurance de Personne (social protection, retirement, life insurance, heritage engineering).

Revenue is generated through insurance brokerage commissions on placed policies, structured as a recurring/affinity stream tied to renewals and ongoing client relationships. The go-to-market is sales-led B2B, serving professionals across metropolitan France — with notable concentrations in real estate promoters and developers (e.g., AFC Promotion, Groupe Carrère, SM Promotion, Trianon Résidences, Loire), construction (Maisons Bergier), energy (EP2C Energy, Qovoltis), education (EDC), lighting (Eklalight), and cycling (Velo Passion) — alongside individual borrowers and personal-insurance clients. No proprietary technology platform, AI/ML capabilities, or external funding are disclosed; the firm relies on its carrier network, vertical specialization, and the regulatory position of a registered French intermediary as its principal assets.
