Bridgepoint acquired a majority stake in HBC (Hanseatic Broking Center), a fast-growing independent insurance distribution platform in the DACH region, from Preservation Capital Partners.

Since its 2022 founding, through a merger of specialty brokers and an MGA, HBC has quadrupled its EBITDA via organic growth and M&A, now serving over 40,000 clients and generating more than a third of its revenue from its MGA business. Under this new partnership, Bridgepoint will work with HBC’s founders and management to scale its MGA engine, accelerate further acquisitions, deepen digitisation, and expand across the DACH region and beyond.

This deal underscores substantial opportunity in the SME insurance market, especially in Germany, with large untapped space in the broker-segment and rapidly growing demand for MGAs.

The Luxembourg corporate aspects of the sale were handled by the M&A/Corporate team, led by Cédric Bless, Imède EL MOUDDEN and Vanessa Estevao.
