Services
Life Insurance
We provide tailored life insurance policies designed to protect loved ones financially in the event of death. Our offerings include term life, whole-of-life, and over-50s plans, with options for critical illness add-ons. Policies can cover mortgages, debts, and funeral costs while accommodating pre-existing medical conditions and high-risk occupations. Our specialists ensure competitive pricing and flexible terms.
Critical Illness Cover
Our critical illness cover provides a lump sum payment upon diagnosis of specified serious conditions like cancer, heart attacks, or strokes. Policies support mortgage payments, medical expenses, and income replacement, with options for standalone coverage or as an add-on to life insurance. We specialise in arranging cover for individuals with complex medical histories through niche insurers.
Income Protection
We offer income protection policies that replace up to 70% of earnings if illness or injury prevents work. Coverage durations range from short-term to retirement age, with deferred periods from day one. Ideal for self-employed individuals and those without employer sick pay, our policies include options for pre-existing conditions and high-risk occupations.
Business Protection
Our business protection solutions include key person insurance, shareholder cover, and group life policies. These products safeguard against financial losses from employee absences, facilitate share buyouts, and protect business loans. We assist with trust setup and underwriting while offering tailored advice for sectors with high-risk profiles.
Travel Insurance
We partner with Staysure to provide travel insurance for individuals with pre-existing medical conditions and extreme sports enthusiasts. Coverage includes single-trip, annual multi-trip, cruise, and winter sports policies. Our service helps clients compare options while offering expert guidance on policy terms and exclusions for UK residents.
