Legalstart and Orus join forces to simplify access to professional insurance for entrepreneurs

Through this partnership, Legalstart is expanding its support for entrepreneurs. The primary objective of this collaboration is to enable Legalstart clients to develop their projects with complete peace of mind.

Essential protection, but often neglected

VSEs and SMEs, which represent 99% of businesses in France, are particularly exposed to financial risks in the event of a lack of protection. Yet, many lack adequate protection, exposing thousands of organizations to unforeseen risks. Despite the importance of insurance for the security and sustainability of a business, this step is often overlooked among the formalities of creation and management.

Insurance needs vary: professional liability, ten-year guarantee for the construction sector, premises coverage, etc. These are all essential protections to ensure the continuity of each entrepreneur's activities.

For some professions, lack of insurance is even a punishable offense, with fines of up to several thousand euros and possible criminal penalties. Nearly half of French contractors are uninsured, a trend that is even more pronounced in the construction sector, where 59% of professionals have no protection.

With Orus, Legalstart takes on the challenge of simplifying insurance procedures for entrepreneurs, by offering them suitable coverage accessible directly online, without unnecessary options.

Specifically, thanks to the partnership between Orus and Legalstart, entrepreneurs benefit from a 100% online process that allows them to obtain a personalized quote tailored to their needs in just a few minutes. All this without any application fees or hidden costs. After receiving their quote, the entrepreneur can choose to subscribe on their own or be called back by a specialized advisor. Once a client, the entrepreneur benefits from a very high quality of service, Orus being the most highly rated professional insurance on the market (4.9/5 on Trustpilot) thanks to its responsiveness in managing the life of the contract and any potential claims.

Thanks to this collaboration, Legalstart also offers personalized mutual and pension solutions for self-employed workers (TNS).

A response to the concrete needs of entrepreneurs

Founded in 2021, Orus specializes in professional insurance for entrepreneurs, offering solutions adapted to the specificities of each activity: civil liability, multi-risk, ten-year, mutual health insurance, and options specific to each contract (IT equipment, cyber, legal protection, etc.).

By combining the expertise of Legalstart and Orus, this partnership provides a comprehensive solution to entrepreneurs, from the creation of their business to the management of risks inherent to their professional activities.

Speed ​​of response is also a major asset of this partnership: Orus supports its policyholders by providing continuous visibility into claims management. Furthermore, Orus is able to process claims in a very short time when the policyholder provides all the necessary documents. The latest record: less than 5 hours to process an instant transfer following a broken window claim.

For Côme Dartiguenave, CEO of Orus: "This partnership with Legalstart improves access to reliable and innovative professional coverage, tailored to the real needs of entrepreneurs. Together, we will reach out to more widely-established business owners and managers and help them effectively protect themselves from the very beginning of their adventure, thereby ensuring the long-term viability of many businesses in France."

A common mission: supporting French entrepreneurs in their success

This collaboration between Legalstart and Orus represents a step forward in better protecting entrepreneurs against unforeseen events, in a context where underinsurance remains a major issue for the development of VSEs and SMEs.

The addition of professional insurance complements our current range of services: legal, professional accounts, and accounting. With Orus, we provide them with tailored and effective protection solutions, as well as expertise that is widely acclaimed by users."
