Navigating Life Insurance
thorough advice for cautious people
What do we do exactly?
Unfortunately, it is a fact of life that many are already paying too much for their life insurance or critical illness cover.
We help you in your decision as to which life insurance policy is the most suitable for you and your circumstances. Your FSA registered independent financial adviser will assist you in choosing an appropriate policy.
Consider Critical Illness Cover
Critical illness cover is a long-term insurance policy.
It's designed to pay you a lump sum on diagnosis of a varied range of seriously incapacitating or life threatening conditions such as loss of limbs, heart attack, stroke, cancer, blindness and many more. Ask your adviser for full details of which conditions are included.
You can use the payout for anything you wish including medical treatment or to pay off your mortgage.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
HEADINGS
Headings are for reading convenience only and are not to be used in the interpretation of this agreement.
Please note that the content of this site is for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. Please seek the help of a financial professional when buying life insurance.
YOU DO NOT PAY US A FEE
There's no charge for us investigating your life insurance policy and you are under no obligation to follow any recommendations that are made. By using a broker's service you will get advice that is normally paid for by the life insurance provider. You will not have to pay them a fee as your broker will receive a commission payment direct from the recommended life insurance company.To reiterate, if you buy a financial product, the broker will normally receive commission on the sale from the insurance product provider. Although you pay nothing up front, that does not mean the service is free. You still pay indirectly through product charges. Product charges pay for the product provider’s own costs and any commission. If you buy direct, the product charges could be the same as when buying through an adviser, or they could be higher or lower. We'll tell you how much the commission will be before you buy your life insurance, but you may ask for this information earlier. If you would however prefer to work on a fee basis, this can be arranged with your broker.
