• Required personal licenses and qualifications to become FCA-approved as SFM3 of an insurance broker in the UK.
• Knowledge of main classes of commercial insurance and FCA regulations and compliance frameworks.
• Experience in insurance sales and business development with an insurer or broker, delivering additional brokerage income and a solid sales structure.
