Brexit remains a critical risk for nearly all businesses. För Krets 1 / Risk Managers som loggat in.
The prospects of a ’hard Brexit’ are growing and with uncertainty over any final deal set to remain into the new year, action is required now ahead of March 2019.
The shock vote in June 2016 by the UK electorate to leave the European Union has created a period of uncertainty for all sectors of the insurance industry and will present many challenges also for the captives sector.
EU resident captives may now need an additional licence to conduct business insurance in the UK. Either a UK insurer would be needed to front risk, or firms may need to form a UK branch or a new UK entity to insure compulsory classes such as employers’ liability and third-party motor liability risks.
The problem with much of this is that it remains very difficult to predict what the outcome of Brexit negotiations will be. It’s therefore important to review your captive risk profiles and insurance programmes, as well as monitor the markets closely to ensure solvency obligations can be fulfilled.
This seminar will give you some background on Brexit and how the UK ended up in this situation, the political issues and the time-line, what the possible future scenarios can mean for cross-border business and what challenges captives may face, along with some tips on how to prepare for March 2019.
