FAQ
- Can the insurance brokerage licence remain valid after acquisition?Review Central Bank approval requirements before changing shareholders, control, management or legal structure. Verify the licence scope, renewal status, branch permissions and whether completion must wait for regulatory consent.
- Does the broker meet ongoing financial and insurance requirements?Examine paid capital, net equity, professional indemnity cover, guarantees, audited statements and regulatory returns. Identify breaches, dividend restrictions, remediation plans or capital injections required immediately after the ownership change.
- Will insurer appointments and commission arrangements continue?Review agreements with insurers for products, territories, commission, renewal income, credit, premiums, claims support and change-of-control clauses. Confirm continuity where a small number of appointments generate most brokerage revenue.
- Are client and premium funds properly separated and reconciled?Trace sampled receipts and payments through the designated brokerage bank account, insurer statements and client files. Investigate aged balances, unreconciled premiums, refunds, chargebacks and any movement involving operating or shareholder accounts.
- How reliable is the renewal book and client ownership?Reconcile policies, renewal dates, commissions, cancellations, claims and producer attribution to insurer statements. Review client agreements, data permissions and staff relationships before assuming the full book will remain after completion.
- Which conduct, complaint and compliance liabilities remain open?Review advice files, disclosures, complaints, claims assistance, AML controls, sanctions screening, audits and Central Bank correspondence. Allocate responsibility for pre-completion conduct and confirm complete records and professional indemnity notifications transfer.
