Simon O’Dell – Managing Director at Insurtech Gateway Australia
There are few people who have the gift to break down highly complex and technical domains into digestible, captivating and delightful information for the pupil. Paul Muir is to insurtech founders, what Carl Sagen is to astronomers and Michio Kaku is to aspiring physicists.
Robin Edgecliffe-Johnson – CEO, Hutch Underwriting
Paul’s services were invaluable in obtaining our AFSL and setting up our risk and compliance frameworks. He should be the first call for anyone thinking of setting up an Aussie insurtech or Lloyd’s coverholder.
Generic templates describe generic businesses. Regulators and business partners want documents that reflect what you actually do, and a template rarely survives a real query because it was never built around your operations in the first place.
Yes. We can assess your existing documentation, identify what’s outdated or missing, and update it rather than starting from scratch.
It depends on your licence, your business model, and your role in the distribution chain. We assess what applies to you in the initial consultation rather than selling a one-size-fits-all pack.
A health check often finds that missing or outdated documentation is the root cause of other compliance issues. Where that’s the case, we build or update the specific documents your business needs.
If not, that’s the gap most likely to trip you up. Let’s fix it.
