Steadfast-backed Ausure is looking to add to its network nationwide as demand for risk management advice grows.

It says partnerships can be arranged with brokers who are currently with a brokerage but are keen to step out on their own, and brokerage owners who want to expand in their region.

Ausure is also open to partnering with owners who want to bring in a shareholder as part of their succession planning.

CEO Scott McCarthy says the business has seen an increase in client enquiries across the country.

“We currently have 110 brokerages throughout Australia that are being operated by quality insurance brokers, committed to providing clients with trusted advice,” he said. “With insurance becoming more costly and complex, people looking for coverage are turning to brokers for advice ... we are looking for quality brokerages that would like to partner with us.”

The business has identified a need for representation in Sydney CBD, Melbourne, WA, Ballarat, Broken Hill, Forbes, Wagga Wagga, Mount Isa, Port Augusta and Mount Gambier. It is open to other locations too.

Ausure says it has a record of providing business owners with licensee partnership options and it supports its authorised representatives through mergers and acquisitions.
