Paraplanning Our paraplanning team works closely with our Protection Advisers and Administrators to provide our business clients with a professional and seamless ongoing protection planning experience. The Paraplanners undertake product research, obtain illustrations and use analytical software to review a client’s existing arrangements. This research is then pulled together into a detailed suitability report for the Protection Adviser to review before it is presented to the client. When time permits, Paraplanners may attend client meetings with the Protection Adviser, as it enhances the client relationship and also gives the Paraplanner a greater understanding of the client’s particular circumstances and objectives. 5. Underwriters Underwriters evaluate and analyse the risks involved in insuring businesses, their people and their assets. Insurance Underwriters establish pricing for accepted insurable risks. The term underwriting means receiving remuneration for the willingness to pay a potential risk. Underwriters use specialised software and actuarial data to determine the likelihood and magnitude of a risk. The Financial Conduct Authority does not regulate employee benefits and some forms of business financial planning.
