What Buyukkaya Uluslararasi Sigorta Ve Reasurans Brokerligi Limited Sirketi does

Büyükkaya Uluslararası Sigorta ve Reasürans Brokerliği Limited Şirketi is a Turkish insurance and reinsurance brokerage headquartered in Istanbul (Eyüp), founded in 1973 and operating continuously for 53 years. The firm holds three SEDDK brokerage licences — Reasürans Brokeri, Hayat Dışı Sigorta Brokeri and Hayat Sigorta Brokeri — enabling it to intermediate reinsurance placements as well as both life and non-life primary insurance for individual, corporate and international clients. It maintains active carrier relationships with approximately 40 insurance and reinsurance companies, and operates a dedicated Özel Riskler Koordinatörlüğü for complex commercial risks, alongside a multilingual service offering (Turkish, English, German, Arabic, Russian, French).

The company earns revenue through commissions on policies placed across its carrier panel, with no disclosed subscription or fee-based pricing model. Its technology footprint is modest: a WhatsApp-based 24/7 AI quote and policy line, a Büyükkaya Mobil mobile application for instant quoting and renewals, and a multilingual website. The firm is a member of the GBN Global Network, supporting cross-border placements, and runs an in-house Sigorta Akademisi (Insurance Academy) for staff training and client education. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, has a headcount of 11-50, and shows no public record of acquisitions, funding rounds, or major leadership changes in the available data.

Broad incumbents

• Lockton: Lockton is the world's largest independent insurance brokerage.

• Aon: Aon is a global insurance and reinsurance brokerage with substantial Turkey presence. Comparable to Buyukkaya in offering commercial insurance placement, reinsurance brokerage, and risk advisory for corporate and multinational clients, but with vastly larger headcount and a wider specialty lines portfolio.
• Arthur J. Gallagher: Arthur J. Gallagher is a global insurance brokerage and risk management firm with growing Turkey presence. Comparable to Buyukkaya because both offer commercial insurance placement, reinsurance solutions, and advisory services to corporate clients, though Gallagher operates internationally with substantially more scale.
• Brown & Brown: Brown & Brown is a diversified insurance brokerage and risk management firm. Comparable to Buyukkaya because both serve commercial clients through an independent brokerage model across multiple lines of business — though Brown & Brown operates primarily in North America with significantly larger scale.
• Acrisure: Acrisure is a fast-growing global insurance brokerage platform with international operations. Comparable to Buyukkaya because both serve commercial and specialty insurance needs through an independent brokerage model — though Acrisure has raised substantial private equity capital and expanded via aggressive M&A.
• Marsh: Marsh is the world's largest insurance broker and risk advisor, with established Turkey operations. It is directly comparable to Buyukkaya because both serve corporate clients with complex insurance placements, reinsurance solutions, and multinational program coordination — but Marsh operates at global scale and a far broader portfolio.
• Willis Towers Watson: WTW is a leading global insurance, reinsurance, and risk advisory broker with operations in Turkey. Comparable because both serve corporate and multinational clients with treaty and facultative reinsurance, global program management, and risk consulting — though WTW operates at global scale with significantly deeper resources.

Comparable to Buyukkaya in offering commercial property/casualty brokerage and risk advisory to mid-market and corporate clients, though at materially larger scale.
