About Portman Insurance SE

European excellence in specialist insurance for businesses across Europe

Who We Are

Portman Insurance SE is a European specialist insurance company headquartered in Paris, dedicated to serving small and medium-sized enterprises across Europe. Founded in 2018, we provide surety bonds, credit insurance and comprehensive liability coverage through a combination of deep underwriting expertise and agile decision-making.

Our focus is on growth-oriented SMEs in France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Benelux and Germany – businesses that need sophisticated insurance solutions delivered with speed and flexibility. We combine the financial strength and regulatory rigour of a Paris-domiciled Societas Europaea with the commercial responsiveness that modern enterprises require.

Built by an experienced team with decades of combined expertise in Classes 13, 15 and 16 insurance products, we understand the unique challenges facing European SMEs. Our underwriters are empowered to make swift decisions, typically responding to quotation requests within 24-48 hours.

We are regulated by the Autorité de Contrôle Prudentiel et de Résolution (ACPR), maintain full Solvency II compliance, and operate with A-rated reinsurance partnerships. Our pan-European presence ensures local market understanding whilst benefiting from cross-border scale and expertise.
