Thursday 1 July 2.15pm
As an insurance professional, a broker helps you make smart choices about your protection. Your broker works for you, not the insurer, to ensure you have the right insurance cover for your business and stay well covered as your needs change. Understanding what’s affecting your industry and how best to maximise a group offer for your Franchisees goes hand in hand.
Global events, local market appetite and legislation all affect FANZ Members whether they care to acknowledge and confront head-on or, take a hands-off approach. How does your Franchise approach your annual insurance spend and when last did you re-visit your thinking?
Come along to a session run by front-line professionals that work daily with businesses such as yours and listen to some of the changes and pressures affecting your business while understanding some of the collective buying you can do to ensure a better outcome in both cover and pricing.
