Services
Life Insurance
Life insurance provides financial protection for dependants in the event of policyholder death. Available as level term, decreasing term or whole of life cover, these policies help protect mortgages, income and family needs. Policies can be tailored to individual circumstances with flexible term lengths and coverage amounts.
Critical Illness Cover
Critical illness cover offers a tax-free lump sum payment upon diagnosis of specified serious conditions. This financial support helps cover medical expenses, care costs or income replacement during recovery. Coverage includes major illnesses like cancer, heart attack and stroke with options to extend protection to children.
Income Protection
Income protection policies replace lost earnings due to illness or injury. Providing regular tax-free payments, these policies help maintain financial stability during extended absences from work. Coverage options include level, inflation-linked and budget protection with flexible premium structures.
Business Cover
Business cover solutions protect companies against financial loss from key person illness or death. Products include key person protection, shareholder protection and relevant life insurance. These policies ensure business continuity and financial stability during ownership transitions or critical events.
Family Income Benefit
Family income benefit provides regular payments rather than a lump sum upon policyholder death. This ongoing financial support helps maintain household income for dependants. Payments can be structured to align with specific needs like childcare or education costs.
Questions
Do I really need life insurance?
Life insurance is recommended if you have dependants, a mortgage or financial commitments. It provides crucial financial support to loved ones in your absence.
How much cover should I take?
Cover amounts depend on mortgage size, debts and family needs. Our advisors will help determine appropriate coverage during your consultation.
Can I combine illness and death cover?
Yes, critical illness cover can be combined with life insurance for comprehensive protection against both eventualities.
How are premiums calculated?
Premiums depend on policy type, coverage amount, age and health status. Younger, healthier individuals typically receive more favourable rates.
Can I place policies in trust?
Yes, we offer free policy trust placement to help mitigate inheritance tax and ensure direct payment to nominated beneficiaries.
What about pre-existing medical conditions?
We work with specialist insurers to provide coverage options for individuals with pre-existing medical conditions.
