Client Profile
HNI has two different roles and responsibilities : a) Towards Family, and b) Towards Business
In the absence of the HNI both suffer. The loss towards family is limited to the expenses towards running the household whereas,
The loss to the Business is of a larger magnitude – it could result in disruption of smooth running of the business or even a closure of business. In other words, the future of business is uncertain and exposed to risks.
