Protect What Matters Most

None of us like to think about worst-case scenarios. But what would happen to your family if you couldn't work – or worse? The right protection gives you peace of mind that they'll be looked after, whatever life throws at you.

Protection Planning

Questions to ask yourself...

Difficult questions, but important ones. We help you find the right answers.

What would happen if I died tomorrow?

Could your family afford the mortgage, bills, and everyday costs without your income?

Am I covered if I get seriously ill?

Critical illness affects 1 in 2 people. Would you cope financially with a cancer diagnosis?

What if I can't work for months?

Statutory sick pay is just £109/week. How long could you survive on that?

Is my business protected?

If you or your business partner died, could the business survive? Could you buy out their share?

How much cover do I actually need?

Too little leaves your family struggling. Too much wastes money. We'll help you get it right.

Am I paying too much?

We search the whole market to find you the best cover at the most competitive price.

Protection Isn't Just About Death

When people think of life insurance, they think about dying. But actually, the bigger risk for most of us is being unable to work due to illness or injury.

Every year, thousands of families face financial hardship not because someone died, but because someone got sick and couldn't earn. Cancer, heart attacks, strokes, mental health issues – they don't just happen to other people.

The good news? With the right protection in place, you can ensure your family stays financially secure no matter what happens. And contrary to popular belief, it doesn't have to cost a fortune.

Did you know?

Life insurance for a healthy 30-year-old non-smoker costs around £10-15/month for £200,000 of cover. That's less than a couple of takeaway coffees a week to give your family complete financial security.
