Who we are

Oller Brokers is an independent insurance brokerage for businesses founded in 1952, with its own office in Barcelona. We are located at Numancia 185, 3rd Floor, 1st Door, and from here we serve companies of all sectors and sizes that require rigorous insurance advice, with no ties to any insurance company.

Our status as an independent brokerage defines the way we work: we have no commercial commitments with any insurer. We work with more than 75 national and international insurance companies, allowing us to analyse the market objectively and recommend what truly suits each client, not what is easiest to sell.

More than 70 years of uninterrupted activity have given us something that cannot be acquired any other way: real experience in managing complex risks, negotiating with insurers in difficult situations, and supporting clients when a claim occurs. That is what distinguishes a well-established brokerage from an intermediary without history.

How we work

The process begins before any policy is discussed. When a company contacts us, the first thing we do is understand its activity, its structure, and the risks it is exposed to. Based on that analysis, we design the coverage program that best fits its risk profile, review the conditions of insurers that best handle that type of risk, and present a comparative and well-founded proposal.

The client does not receive a single quote: they receive a market overview. And they do not receive just a price: they receive an explanation of what each policy covers, what it excludes, and why we are recommending that option over the others. That level of detail is what allows a CFO, a manager, or a board of directors to make an informed decision on how to protect their company.

Once the policies are in place, the work does not end. We monitor coverage, manage renewals well in advance so we can renegotiate when the market allows, and remain available for any questions or issues throughout the term of the contracts.

The claims handling: where the value of the brokerage is proven

There is a question every company should ask before taking out insurance: who will be on my side if something happens? With a direct insurer or a tied agent, the answer is: no one with an obligation to represent your interests. With an independent brokerage like Oller Brokers, the answer is different.

When a claim occurs, our team steps in from the very first moment: we advise on how to report it correctly, coordinate documentation, liaise with the insurer’s adjusters, and monitor the process until the file is closed with a fair resolution. In complex claims, that management can make a significant difference in the final outcome.

FAQ

What real difference is there, for a company in Barcelona, between working with an insurance brokerage and dealing directly with an insurer?

The difference is structural, not just price-related. An insurance company designs its products for the average market risk and is interested in having the policy fit its underwriting criteria, not necessarily those of your company. An independent brokerage like Oller Brokers works with more than 75 insurers and its only contractual obligation is to the insured. This has practical consequences at three different stages: in the initial analysis, because we can recommend without being constrained; in the negotiation, because we access conditions that are not available through direct channels; and above all in the claims stage, which is when the quality of an insurance program is truly tested. When there is a discrepancy in the interpretation of coverage or in the settlement of a claim, the broker defends the insured’s interests, not those of the insurer. In the Barcelona market, where business risks are increasingly complex and claims more frequent, that representation has a very concrete value.

How does Oller Brokers know if my company in Barcelona is properly insured or if it has coverage gaps?

The process begins with an analysis of the current policies: what coverage the company has in place, with which insurers, under what conditions, and for what cost. From that starting point, we cross-reference the information with the company’s actual activity — its turnover, structure, and the risks it effectively assumes in its day-to-day operations — and identify whether there are missing coverages that should be in place, duplicated coverages being paid for twice, limits that are insufficient for the real exposure, or conditions that could lead to unpleasant surprises in the event of a claim. This diagnostic is free of charge and does not imply any commitment to contract with us. In many cases, the result is that the company is already reasonably well covered. When it is not, we explain it in detail and with concrete alternatives.

Why can the price of the same insurance vary so much between insurers?

Because each insurer underwrites risk using different criteria. Two policies with the same product name and that nominally cover the same things can be very different in what they actually include: limits per claim and per period, sub-limits for specific coverages, applicable deductibles, specific exclusions, and renewal conditions. A lower premium does not always mean a worse insurance policy, but in many cases it does mean narrower coverage or exclusions that the insured only discovers when a claim occurs. At Oller Brokers, when we present a comparative proposal to a company in Barcelona, we do not compare price alone: we compare the full conditions and clearly explain exactly what is obtained with each option.
