If BI insurance feels complicated and confusing, you're not alone—but help is here. In his famously clear style, Alan shows you exactly how to set up BI cover correctly and confidently advise your clients. The leading case of the Arbory Group demonstrates the courts have no time for brokers that fail to advise correctly around setting correct Bi sums insured, and this presentation will help broking staff advise correctly on setting Gross Profit, Gross fees/Revenue sums insured including how to make an allowance for inflation.
