Benson Oak Capital’s private equity arm and co-investors have sold 100% of their stake in Klikpojisteni.cz, a.s. to a company majority owned by TA Associates, a global growth private equity firm, and minority owned by MCI EuroVentures, a technology investment fund.
Klik operates an online insurance brokerage in the Czech Republic and Slovakia under domain names Klik.cz and Klik.sk, with offices in Prague, Usti nad Labem and Bratislava. It offers clients the ability to compare prices for non-life and life insurance products, including MTPL, CASCO, home, travel and term life insurance.
The company will continue to operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary under the Klik brand and under the leadership of its original founder Andrew Fuchs and management team, including Aleš Rothbarth and Lukaš Pikal, as it continues to innovate and provide high value to both insurers and policy-holders. The buyer of Klik also owns Netrisk, which operates Netrisk.hu and Biztositas.hu, two Hungarian online insurance brokerages. Klik.cz and Klik.sk will thus become key components of Central European Online Insurance Brokerage Group alongside netrisk.hu and Biztositas.hu.
Benson Oak and other investors funded Klik from its inception in 2011, and supported the company with multiple rounds of investment. Major Klik shareholders will become minority shareholders in the combined group, a sign of their continued commitment and belief in the team and the market.
Founded in 2011, Klik.cz is an online insurance brokerage company in the Czech Republic. In 2018, it entered Slovakia with Klik.sk. It offers clients the ability to transparently compare the prices for non-life insurance and life insurance products, including MTPL, CASCO, home, travel and term life insurance.
Founded in 1994, Netrisk is an independent online insurance brokerage company in Hungary. In 2001, it became the first Hungarian company offering a platform for comparing and distributing insurance products via the internet. Today, Netrisk distributes several types of non-life insurance products, including MTPL, CASCO, home and travel insurance policies. In December 2019, Netrisk acquired one of its largest competitors, Biztositas.hu. The company is led by Andrew Fuchs, Founder, CEO and Chairman of the board of Klik.cz and Klik.sk.
