Built by MGAs for MGAs.

We’re here to help you build a more profitable business with tech that makes your team more efficient and attracts the best talent.

Where underwriting and technology combine

Built out of a real-world need.

Every MGA eventually hits a tipping point where they are writing more premium than they can manage. It’s a good problem to have, but it can make scaling challenging.

A few years ago, we were in exactly that spot as Azur Underwriting. Encumbered by legacy systems, after a lot of trial and error we realized that if we could empower our team to work more efficiently with better technology, we could grow our margins without having to add underwriter headcount to each program.

We looked at the usual suspects of underwriting software tools in the market, and found that none of them were capable of achieving what we had in mind. So we decided to solve the problem ourselves by building an underwriting product layer onto our Salesforce platform. After seeing business value triple in 3 years, we knew we wanted to help other MGAs hit the same milestones.

Today we’re Azur Technology.

We’ve taken our proven version of underwriting software and turned it into a product agnostic, world-class system specifically designed for ambitious MGAs.

We only do insurance, and we specialize in specialty.

Our goal is simple: house your MGA in one place, launch products quickly, attract the best talent and let the system take the strain so your underwriters can focus on what they do best.

We’re moving fast and making things.
