Legacy books of business require efficient and compliant management, but brokers can sometimes struggle to allocate the right resources to this function, particularly when live business is growing. Pro has rich experience in managing legacy business and improving processes to realise the most efficient run-off and financial closure of a book, recovering funding and uncollected brokerage and resolving aged, outstanding technical transactions and cash.
