Founded in 2005 by CEO Jehan de Castet, Courtanet is a French price comparison business. It initially offered price comparison services to independent insurance brokers in France and gained contracts with around half of that market. In 2009, it launched assuremieux.com, a consumer price comparison service for car, health, loan, home and motorbike insurance. In 2010, Courtanet launched creditmieux.com, a price comparison service for consumer loans. The company is Paris based, with 17 staff.
The BGL Group, together with Courtanet's founder, now owns the company. The Group's expertise gained from establishing comparethemarket in the UK should help Courtanet to replicate that success in the French market.
