    Where Would You Be If…

    Most of us don't think about these things until we have to. Each of these is a situation protection is designed for, and we'll explain the right cover, what it costs and what it won't do, in plain English.

    01

    I Couldn't Work

    Bills and the mortgage carry on even when your income stops. We work out how long you could manage and cover the gap.

    Usually income protection
    02

    I Became Seriously Ill

    Treatment, time off and adapting life afterwards all cost money. A lump sum buys you choices.

    Usually critical illness cover
    03

    I Died

    The people who depend on you keep the home and keep going, without a mortgage hanging over them.

    Usually life cover
    04

    Something Happened to My Business

    An owner or key person being ill or dying should not end the business or hand shares to the wrong people.

    Usually business protection

    Questions People Ask Us

    Can I get life insurance if I've previously been declined?

    Being declined by one insurer, particularly through an online comparison site, does not mean you are uninsurable. A specialist adviser can review your full picture and approach insurers who are more likely to offer cover.

    Will insurers contact my GP?

    Sometimes, but not always. For larger amounts of cover or more complex medical histories, the insurer may request a GP report, always with your written consent.

    Can self-employed people get income protection?

    Yes, and it's arguably more important for self-employed people, because there is no employer sick pay to fall back on. Variable income is not a barrier to getting cover.

    What happens when I make a claim?

    You or your representatives contact the insurer, or us, and we'll help. We support clients through the claims process at no extra cost.
