Frequently asked questions
We are here to make your life easier when it comes to all thing's insurance. If you have Property
Insurance cover, you may well have or require some of the below cover also:
What is Personal Protection?
This type of Protection is designed to protect what matters most – you and your family. The cover can be designed to protect anything for a mortgage liability through to your children’s futures. There are a range of different levels of cover available, the big 3 are Life Cover, Critical Illness Cover and Income Protection.
What is Business Protection?
This type of Protection is designed to protect the business interests of the shareholders, the key personal and its employees. One of the biggest risks to any company is the loss of key individuals which forces uncertainty. This protection is designed to ensure your business can recover as quick as possible. The cover provided stretches from Key Man Cover, Share Protection, Business Loan Protection and Relevant Life Cover.
What Levels of cover is available?
- Level term assurance
The amount of life cover will remain the same throughout the life of the policy. Generally suitable for family protection and Interest Only mortgages. - Decreasing term assurance
The amount of life cover will typically reduce in-line with the outstanding debt on a repayment mortgage. Typically suitable for Repayment mortgages where the mortgage loan is repaid gradually over the course of the mortgage term. - Family Income Benefit
This is not too dissimilar to a Level Term policy; however, the proceeds are paid out an annual basis until the end of the policy rather than a lump sum payment.
What Type of cover is available?
- Death Benefit
This policy will payout upon Death only. Most death benefits plans will include Terminal Illness cover (If you are given a life expectancy of less than 12 months the policy will pay out immediately). - Death or Earlier Critical Illness
This policy would payout on a first event basis of either death or diagnosis of a specified Critical Illness. Generally, once a successful claim is made the policy will cease. Also includes Terminal Illness cover - Critical Illness only
This policy will only payout upon diagnosis of a specified Critical Illness Only. This is often referred to as a ‘Standalone Critical Illness Policy’.
NOTE: Please note it is very important to understand the Critical Illness policy you take out as cover varies dramatically between the insurers. - Income Protection
This type of cover is designed to pay a tax free monthly amount directly into your bank account to support you if you are unable to work due to accident, illness, sickness or injury. This policy is designed to cover you beyond any sick pay provided by your employer and ensures long term financial stability during your recovery.
What is the purpose of Business Protection?
The idea behind Business Protection is to look at one of the main risks that businesses face: what happens when you lose an Owner, Director or Key member of your team due to death or ill health? Many businesses have lengthy plans for events such as fire drills but have never considered what impact losing someone at the business could have. This can be very costly, and unfortunately can lead to many businesses being forced into liquidation. Having the right Business Protection in place can ensure your company continues without financial difficulties. The Type of protection needed depends on your circumstances, the main areas of cover are:
- Key Man Cover
- Share Protection
- Business Loan Protection
- Relevant Life Cover
How long can I have the cover for?
This is often referred to as the policy Term or Duration. Generally, the Term is linked with your specific needs such as your mortgage duration, child dependency or retirement age. You can also choose to have a ‘Whole of Life’ policy which has no expiry, this runs until the day you pass away no matter how many years that may be. This type of cover is often used to provision for funeral costs or IHT bills (inheritance tax).
Can my premiums be fixed?
It depends on the policy type selected at application stage. Premiums can be ‘guaranteed’ and remain fixed throughout the duration of the policy OR the premiums can be ‘reviewable’ which means the premium can change during your review dates (typically every 5 years).
Can the cover be linked to inflation?
This depends on the insurance provider and policy type. Certain policy types such as Term Assurance can be linked to inflation and is often tracked by RPI (Retail Price Index). This ensures the value of the policy does not erode over time and provides the value of cover you intended at the start of the policy if a claim is made. It is important to understand that if you choose to increase your cover the premium would also increase.
What defines a ‘Smoker’?
The general stance taken by insurers is if a person has smoked or used any type of nicotine such as cigarettes or cigars or nicotine replacement products including patches, gum and E-Cigarettes (depending on nicotine levels).
How do I get advice?
Simple! Speak to one of our advisors, they can provide expert insurance advice and help tailor a policy exactly to your needs ensuring you have the most suitable cover: this can range from the right type of policy(s), amount and duration of cover and source the right insurer considering your personal circumstances and overall answer any question you have to ensure you have total peace of mind in the cover you have.

How do I apply for cover?
This depends on the insurer, most have online interactive questionnaires about your current and past health and lifestyle. You may be able to receive and instant decision or there may be a requirement for further medical evidence such as a Doctor’s report or Nurse Medical Screening. By using an Advisor this process can be broken down step by step and offer you peace of mind the process has been completed correctly and remove and doubt about the policy.
Can I get guaranteed acceptance?
Most policies are medically underwriting and acceptance is dependent on each insurer’s underwriting philosophy. An application may be declined due to current or past health issues or lifestyle based activities such as hazardous pursuits or travel. If you are unable to obtain a medically underwriting policy, you can consider an Over 50’s policy, which does provide guaranteed acceptance with an initial exclusion period (consider it a qualifying period). However, if you die as a result of an illness during this period your family would typically be refunded the premiums plus some additional benefit (insurer dependent).
I have been declined by another insurer, can I still get cover?
Potentially, every insurer views different medical conditions and personal circumstances in their own unique way, this refers to the insurer’s underwriting philosophy and where one insurer has declined cover another maybe able to offer cover. It is important to remember that this may not be the case every time as the decision rests on your disclosures.
An Advisor can take this burden away and use the experience and knowledge on which insurer best suits your needs.
What Service do you provide?
We provide Advice & Recommendations for Non-investment protection contracts from a range of insurers.
Are you ‘Whole of Market’?
Yes, we can use whichever insurer we choose and have links to all the mainstream insurance providers plus a range of specialist insurance providers.
What Fee’s do you charge?
None! We do not charge a fee for our services at any point in time. We are paid a commission by the insurance provider. This does not influence which insurer we use as we always keep our clients interest at heart above everything else.
What happens if the insurer goes bankrupt?
Most insurance policies in the UK are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). Typically, insurance advice and arrangement is covered up to 90% of the claim without any upper limit. Therefore, in the unlikely situation an insurer suffers bankruptcy you are covered by the FSCS free of charge. Further details can be found at http://www.fscs.org.uk/what-we-cover/products
