Paris-based digital insurer Orus has secured €25 million in a Series B funding round to support its expansion into new European markets and to launch a broker platform aimed at modernising small business insurance distribution.
The round was led by Singular, with continued participation from existing investors Notion Capital and Redstone.
Founded in 2021, Orus provides digital-first insurance solutions tailored for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Its platform leverages algorithms and more than 300 data points, including financial indicators, climate risk and behavioural patterns, to assess risk and offer personalised coverage. The company says onboarding takes less than five minutes, significantly faster than traditional insurance processes.
With the new capital, Orus plans to roll out its services in Spain, marking its first market outside France. Early performance in Spain has already exceeded initial benchmarks, according to the company. Additional European expansion is planned from 2026.
The insurer has also announced the launch of a broker platform that will allow intermediaries to quote, customise and manage policies through a single digital interface. Orus aims to combine the speed of its technology with brokers’ local expertise to improve client service and efficiency.
Orus CEO Côme Dartiguenave said the goal is to simplify business insurance and adapt to modern expectations. “Our platform is designed to eliminate the delays, complexity and lack of transparency that still characterise much of the SMB insurance market,” he said.
Since its Series A round 18 months ago, Orus has increased its revenue tenfold and now covers over 30,000 businesses across Europe. It reports a 4.9 out of 5 customer rating on review platforms.
Singular partner Henri Tilloy said Orus is positioned to reshape commercial insurance in Europe, calling it “a comprehensive and intuitive platform” that can serve a wide range of industries, including retail, construction and professional services.
The company plans to double its workforce in 2026 as it continues to scale its operations and expand its product portfolio.
