Steadfast Group Limited (‘Steadfast’) (ASX: SDF) today announced that it has agreed to acquire 72.3% of Ausure Group (‘Ausure’), an Authorised Representative (AR) network of insurance professionals in 150 locations across Australia, including Insure 247 Australia. Ausure has a normalised FY15 forecast EBITA of approximately $4.0 million.

With the support of Steadfast, we are now in a position to accelerate our growth initiatives.”
Robert Kelly, Managing Director & CEO of Steadfast, commented, “We are excited to partner with Ausure and believe its AR network provides Steadfast with an opportunity to attract smaller brokers into our fold.
