UK life insurance and
protection policies.
Most of us buy insurance to protect our possessions, such as our house contents, car and even our favourite dog or cat from loss as a result of such occurrences as theft and fire.
We should also be protecting our income to provide for those dependent on it or to cover
general living expenses if our income ceases through death, sickness or redundancy.
Types of insurance include term assurance, whole of life assurance, income protection
insurance, critical illness insurance, accident, sickness and
unemployment insurance.
For accident sickness and unemployment cover we usually offer products
from a selected panel of providers / single provider.
The type of life insurance or protection policy, and amount of cover will vary from client to client.
The type of insurance will depend on an individual's particular
circumstances and requirements. The factors which affect needs
include age, dependants, level of income financial liabilities.
