Our guest for this #PoisedforExit episode is Joe Housman, Vice President for Hays Companies and Brown & Brown Insurance. Joe has held a variety of roles with privately held companies, from CPA, to Private Equity adviser; he's worked with many companies in various stages of growth, acquisition and exit.
He recently added Commercial Insurance to his areas of expertise and talked about how insurance can be used when buying or selling a business.
One thing that Joe recommends sellers do is to make sure and tell their insurance agent or broker that they are anticipating a transaction, which Joe says can mitigate risk and cost for the seller and the buyer as well. One way he illustrated that was in the area of Employee Benefits.
Joe also talked about Reps and Warranty Insurance, versus holding back funds from a sale in escrow, and how he analyzes risk by conducting insurance Due Diligence.
Insurance premiums have gone up across the board, as we all know, not just due to the pandemic and all the extra claims, but also due to some Carriers getting out of the market altogether, which has driven up the cost of premiums. Joe said that if and when some of these carriers return to the market, lower premiums and competition for the insurance business would return. Until, it's important for business owners to monitor their insurance spend and have an audit done regularly.
Cyber Security has been a problem area for claims, due to so many working from home. Make sure your company has the proper amount of insurance to cover a data breach and business interruption. To hear more of Joe's expertise check out the episode here!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
