Groupama and ABC Insur-ance, the broker brand of Liverpool Victoria, have become the latest insurers to join forces with comparative commercial website, Broker-2Broker.
The website, B2Bi, which enables SME brokers without multiple agencies to access 12 commercial products through a panel of six insurers, will roll-out six products from Groupama by the end of next month.
It will be followed by a range of bespoke products from ABC Insurance.
The products, which are currently in development, are expected to be launched within the next month.
Jason Gandy, managing director of B2Bi, told Insurance Times that the first Groupama product to be made available on the website will be Tradesman, with others following shortly after.
He said: "There are very few wholesale portals that offer the breadth of products that B2Bi does. We are working with the brokers to find out what products they are able to deliver volumes in. It will be very important in developing products going forward."
Groupama and ABC Insurance will be the final insurers to join the B2Bi panel, which also includes AXA, IGI, MMA, Norwich Union, Royal & SunAlliance and Zurich.
The wholesale broker website, which has so far transacted more than £150,000 of premium since its unofficial launch in November, also intends to add two further products.
Gandy confirmed that to coincide with the website's official launch at the Biba Conference in May, manufacturing and distribution will be added to the panel of commercial package products, which already includes retail and shop, commercial property owners, mini-fleet and residential lettings.
