Hi everyone, we have Matt Rann back with us for the first time this season and we are taking a look outside of the UK. I speak to quite a lot of people who live or work abroad for extended periods of time and this can really reduce the options for arranging insurance with a UK insurer.
It’s important to make sure that you know your permissions before advising anyone that is not resident in the UK. This will be a mix of your compliance and your professional indemnity insurance. As an example, at Cura I know that my permissions are that I can provide advice to someone that is a UK citizen and/or someone that has a financial liability within the UK. If someone doesn’t fall into these categories, there needs to be further questions about why they are wanting to use a UK advice firm, rather than someone in their country of residence.
There’s a lot to consider!
The key takeaways:
Next time Stephen Baldry from UnderwriteMe is set to join me to talk about the way that the advice market has been changing over recent years.
