BILAB Takes the Stage
Over the past few months, we at Bilab Development have reached an important milestone: Portfolio.hu conducted an interview with one of our experts to find out who we are and what we think about our market. At BILAB, insurance plays a key role in two areas: managing corporate property risks and promoting health. But what kind of market are we operating in?
The Insurance Brokerage Market – Far from a Calm Lake
If we had to describe our market in one sentence: it’s turbulent, ever-changing, and full of challenges. In recent years, many smaller brokerage firms have had to shut down or merge with larger players. Compared to the peak in 2010, the number of companies operating as brokers or multi-agents has decreased by 40%. By the end of 2024, only 333 players remained active in the sector. The reason is simple: the demands of administration, IT system development, and legal compliance require resources that are difficult to sustain independently over the long term.
But we don’t just want to survive. We want to grow.
Why Did We Join Forces with Insura?

Bilab Development is not a traditional company.
We are a startup with a new business model, offering tailor-made healthcare services for companies – from classic on-site truck screenings to mental health support. But for us, it’s not just about “the doctor visiting the office.”
At Bilab, health is a complex, continuously managed process. That’s why we place special emphasis on health insurance and its administration, which today ranks as the second most common corporate health benefit after occupational health screenings.
What truly sets us apart from other providers? Cyber protection.
Yes, you read that right – we approach corporate health in a way that puts digital security alongside mental and physical well-being. Through our specialized platform and training programs, employees learn to recognize phishing emails – which today is just as important as proper posture in the office.
And where does Insura come in? Right where stable support, legal security, and scalability are needed to grow.
Why Insura?
As Iván Balázs, Bilab’s health benefits expert, put it:
“With the Insura team, we found not only professional expertise but shared values. We joined an open, collaborative environment where the focus isn’t on contracts buried in drawers, but on real client experience.”
Our partnership with Insura allows us to:
- Respond faster and more efficiently to market changes,
- Further expand our health insurance services,
- And, with stronger IT and legal support, reach a wider customer base.
What Does This Mean for Our Clients?
A lot!
We believe that risk management is not just an option but a core workplace value for companies. Bilab has always been a pioneer in corporate health services – from mobile screenings to mental health counseling. Now, we can take these services to the next level with stronger backing and more advanced systems.
We’re Not Losing Ourselves – We’re Getting Stronger
Bilab will remain what it has always been: an innovative, people-centered, growth-driven company. Our relationship with Insura hasn’t taken anything away from us – it’s added to who we are. Now, we’re not just dreaming of change – we have the power to make it happen.
