Accidents happen, and it s critical to ensure that you and your client are covered in the event of a problem. Inadequate cover can be just as dangerous as no cover at all!

Risk insurance Income Protection: Income protection provides monthly benefit payments to replace up to 80% of your income if you are unable to work due to sickness or injury. These monthly payments allow the life insured to meet their regular expenses while they are unable to work. Life Insurance: Life insurance offers peace of mind that the individual s interests will be protected if they die or are diagnosed with a terminal illness. It might be helpful to clear the mortgage and other debts, whilst providing for the family day to day expenses. Disability Cover: Disability cover provides a lump sum payment if the individual becomes totally and permanently disabled. Critical Illness Cover: Critical illness cover provides a lump sum payment if the life insured suffers a specified trauma condition. This may assist with medical costs and clearing debt so the life insured can focus on making a full recovery at their own pace. It s also important to know that premium funding is available payments can be made monthly instead of annually to protect cash flow and to allow you to get the right amount of cover.
