[1]It is over three years since the SRA began accepting ABS applications and almost 400 licences have now been granted. With this in mind, and as a follow-up to our successful event in Manchester earlier this year, we will be delivering a seminar in London entitled ‘ABSs: three years on’. Here in Compli we thought it would be an opportune time to look back at what the profession has learnt since the genesis of ABSs and share some practical advice on preparing ABS applications.
Hosted by global insurance brokers Willis, the event will feature top tips from one of our consultants on how to approach the application process as well as comment on changes to the separate business rule changes. In addition, insight will be offered by Willis and a special guest speaker who is the Managing Partner and COLP of an existing ABS.
