Yet despite this momentum, Business Relief remains underutilised. So, what’s holding it back?
Foresight recently surveyed a group of advisers to understand advisers' biggest concerns when recommending Business Relief (BR) and positioning it to clients. The results confirmed that perceived risk and client suitability are the biggest hurdles, with 26.8% citing this as the top barrier. Other concerns included cost, difficulty finding the right clients and internal approval processes.
In this session, Foresight explore the perceived risks and real barriers that prevent BR from becoming a mainstream solution for IHT planning. From client misconceptions to adviser hesitancy, we’ll tackle the friction points, especially around perceived risk, suitability and cost.
