Professional Assist
Our Professional Assist is an online technical service provided in partnership with Information Exchange.
Professional Assist connects members to specialist advisors and provides access to an extensive information centre which aims to assist you in resolving specific regulatory issues. The responses you get to your issue can be easily adopted in your business, or passed onto clients, as all responses provided by Professional Assist are backed by advisors who hold Professional Indemnity insurance.
The service provides members with cost-effective professional written opinions by experts in their field.
