PRE-SUBMISSION UNDERWRITING

Preparing & Positioning

For private clients with more complex protection requirements, the way a case is prepared and positioned can be vital to the success of getting the best terms.

Our approach is to understand the risk, identify potential underwriting issues and build the strongest possible presentation before approaching insurers.

Where appropriate, cases are supported by specialist underwriting expertise.

This step enables us to:

| Establish the purpose and level of cover
| Gather the supporting information
| Provide appropriate context for insurer understanding
| Engage with insurers before formal application
| Identify potential areas requiring further evidence
| Determine which route is most suitable for the client's circumstances
