The company has operations across Asia, including Hong Kong, China, Singapore and Indonesia, but bankers say they are not seen as a core part of the group.

Tulloch signalled that a sale was not inevitable. "There are lots of different options," he said, and the company could instead form a joint venture...

Selling Your Business Can Be An Exhausting Process Founders often refer to their business as their baby as they think about the blood, sweat and tears that went into creating a successful company. When it comes time to sell, it’s only natural to be uncomfortable with the thought of things being done differently, says Howard L. Lewis. “Many entrepreneurs and business owners are very involved in their businesses in countless ways doing things they think are normal,” says Lewis, founder and chairman emeritus at Family Heritage Life Insurance. “A new owner, a new corporation likely will not deal with that business in the same way that the founder did. That has to be thought through and dealt...

Many financial institutions struggle selling insurance products. For others, however, it is a natural extension, providing a steady stream of non-interest income. Here's how three financial institutions make it work. Everyone knows the well-worn maxim: “Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” And it’s true… to a point. But the lesson isn’t to forever avoid any venture that ever failed. It’s to learn why it failed and not repeat those mistakes. Banks and credit unions selling insurance is a perfect example. Twenty years ago, there was a rush of financial institutions buying up independent insurance agencies after federal law changed...

How much life insurance do I need? Life insurance should replace your income if the unthinkable happens. When figuring out what you need for life insurance coverage, consider your future costs. That includes your mortgage, outstanding bills, children’s college, funeral costs, childcare, and other costs that your loved ones will have. When gauging how much you need, here are some costs to think about: Estimate for at least five years of income replacement. So, if your income is $100,000, it’s wise to buy at least $500,000 of life insurance just for income replacement. Provide enough funds so that they can pay the mortgage and any regular costs like childcare. If you’re the...

I accepted this job selling life insurance last month. Passed my Life and Health exam this week. So about two weeks, May 17th, until I begin training. In the meantime, I'm memorizing the scripts they give me. It's 100% commissions, bonus, and residual pay. I'll be a general agent full time. I'll be leaving my current security job, making 13 an hour. About 1600 take home a month. They are putting me on hold, by my request, in case this life insurance job doesn't work out. So, if it doesn't, I just come back and continue doing security for income until I find something else. Great company, they understand my situation and are working with me. Now, tomorrow I...

Selling Life Insurance to Digital Consumers When we started PolicyGenius, an independent digital insurance broker, last summer, we braced ourselves for a high-speed education on the finer points of the consumer insurance market–and boy did we get it. We previously consulted for the industry, but even that doesn’t prepare you for all the work that happens on the ground, like filing for licenses on a state-by-state basis, or spending a holiday manually preparing and sending out illustrations because of a last-minute surge in quote requests. (Or dealing with fax machines.) But learning all the nuances, even the bewildering ones, has been an amazing experience. It’s exciting to be...
