and google Robert Hut or Bobby Hut, whatever name he is using.

The questions are more related to the structure he imposes on his own business network, which I find inconsistent, but the insurance knowledge seems above the usual US based insurance broker; we ran into the company a couple of times, never engaged because of various reasons, nothing nefarious but some signs made us being careful thats all

Richard, many thanks for your detailed response.

I have met with Robert Hut a couple of times, and spoken many times, with view to undertaking some large transactions with him. We completed very satisfactory due diligence, my clients were ready to roll and undertake some serious lending and then he virtually disappeared! He doesn't return emails, phone messages and the only return messages I have had have been 2 from an assistant telling me "he's still travelling"!

I spent a lot of hours working on several cases and am a little cross that he doesn't even have the courtesy to respond to my communications. My request for info on this forum was just to see if anyone had dealt with Insurative, or was currently dealing with them, so that perhaps I could work out why they were no longer keen to do business!

Obviously being in the lending business at present is not the best place to be, but it doesn't take much to be courteous and reply to emails etc! I would suggest avoiding this company as it's likely they can't do what they say they can do.
