Income Protection
If you work and don’t receive any sick pay policy or you do but it only lasts for a certain period of time, then you need income protection.
Income Protection will pay you 70% of your income if you are off work sick or injured for 1 – 2 years or up until retirement age, so you can focus on recovering and not having to rush back to work.
A loss of income would be concerning for everyone, it pays for your house, food, children and everything else. Income Protection would allow you to maintain your lifestyle until you are ready to return to work.
Mental health issues rank highly among the causes of claims on income protection insurance so the illness doesn’t need to be physical. If you are self-employed, income protection is an absolute must.

Whole of Life
Whole of life insurance is a life insurance policy that guarantees an insurance company will pay your family a lump amount following your passing, whenever that may be.
Level Term
Level term life insurance will pay a lump sum amount if the insured person dies during the term of the policy’s predetermined period.
Decreasing Term
Decreasing term life insurance is intended to decrease at a pace that is roughly equivalent to the declining balance of a capital and interest repayment mortgage.
Increasing Term
Increasing term life insurance increases the sum insured by a predetermined amount annually throughout the period of the policy. It is designed to protect the policy’s value against inflation.
Critical Illness Cover
Critical Illness Cover and children’s critical illness cover pays out if you or an insured child falls seriously ill with one of the illnesses covered by the policy, usually with a single lump sum payment.
