Protection For Families

Many clients tell us that looking after their loved ones is their most important priority in life – and that’s where protection policies come in.

Protection policies allow you to provide for your family in the most challenging circumstances, such as being forced to time away from work due to sickness, fighting a critical illness or not being around at all.

Whilst it’s easy to think it’ll never happen to you, life has a way of throwing up the unexpected so comprehensive protection policies are essential for safeguarding your families financial future. By understanding and implementing various insurance products such as life insurance, health insurance and income protection you can ensure financial stability and peace of mind in the face of unexpected events for you and your loved ones.

Having been recommended The Financial Guys to help with our mortgage renewal this year we are ecstatic with the result. We had a clear idea of what we wanted from our renewal however the expertise from the advisors ensured we got the best deal. We were guided from start to finish by Gill and Josh and couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. They were on hand for every query no matter how small or how many times we changed our minds. I wouldn’t think of using anybody else in the future

My husband and myself spoke to Josh at a few video calls to arrange a joint will and income protection insurance. At every call Josh was friendly, informative and gave sound guidance. He was always punctual and his communication in between calls was great.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does life insurance work?

Life insurance provides a lump sum payment or regular payouts to the beneficiaries upon the policyholder’s death. The coverage amount is chosen based on the families needs and financial goals. This payout helps cover expenses such as funeral costs, mortgage payments, living expenses, and education fees.

How does income protection insurance benefit families?

Income protection insurance replaces a portion of the policyholder’s income if they are unable to work due to illness or injury. It provides regular payouts until the policyholder can return to work or reach retirement age. This ensures financial stability and helps cover living expenses during periods of incapacity.

Am I too young to thinking about life insurance?

It’s never too young to reviewing your circumstances and putting protection in place to ensure your financial stability.

What is criticial illness cover?

Crticial illness cover is an insurance product designed to pay out a lump sum in the unfortunate event of you being diagnosed with a life threatening illness.

What is the difference between health insurance and critical illness insurance?

Health Insurance covers regular medical expenses, such as doctor visits, hospital stays, treatments, and diagnostics. It ensures access to healthcare and reduces out-of-pocket costs.

Critical Illness Insurance provides a lump sum payment if the policyholder is diagnosed with a specified critical illness, such as cancer, heart attack, or stroke. This payment helps cover medical expenses, living costs, and necessary lifestyle adjustments.

How often should families review their insurance coverage?

Families should review their insurance coverage at least annually or whenever there are significant changes in their circumstances, such as the birth of a child, a new home purchase, or changes in income. Regular reviews ensure coverage remains adequate and relevant.
