Our First Meeting Together

For over 20 years my Clients' Financial Interests have been my foremost concern.

A First Meeting with a new Client is to discuss key questions and to bring clarity.

Discuss - Where your Business is now and where you are planning on taking it into the future:

• What are you doing to attract and retain top talent?

• How will your Business manage if you or a key employee unexpectedly dies or becomes too sick/injured to work?

• Do you have Business Loan Protection to protect against creditors who demand an owner to personally guarantee a loan?

• Do you have an effective Buy-Sell Agreement in place and is it properly valued?

Work towards bringing clarity to the mechanics of Financial Insurance:  

• How choosing appropriate insurance products can have a positive impact in creating more financial certainty for your Business.

• Putting a strategy in place, that you feel confident will help your Business and Employees be better prepared for the future.
