The Value of Protection

Protection insurance is a crucial safety net for consumers, offering financial security and peace of mind in the face of life’s uncertainties. From unexpected illnesses to unfortunate accidents, protection insurance provides a range of options designed to safeguard individuals and their families. Here are some key types of protection insurance to consider:

Whole of Life Insurance: Whole of life insurance – sometimes called whole of life assurance – is a type of policy that guarantees an insurance provider will pay out a lump sum to your family when you die, whenever that might be. It does what it says on the tin and covers the whole of your life, provided you’ve continued to pay your premiums. It can help cover outstanding mortgages, debts, and provide financial support to dependents. This type of insurance is different from term life insurance, which only pays out if you die during the set period the policy runs for.

Critical Illness Cover: This type of insurance pays out a lump sum if the policyholder is diagnosed with a specified critical illness. It offers financial support during challenging times, enabling individuals to focus on recovery without worrying about the financial impact of their illness.

Income Protection Insurance: If you’re unable to work due to illness or injury, income protection insurance ensures you receive a regular income, typically a percentage of your salary, until you can return to work or until the end of the policy term.

Consumers must carefully consider their needs and circumstances when selecting protection insurance. Policies vary significantly in terms of coverage, premiums, and conditions, so it’s crucial to review and understand the terms before purchasing and that’s where we at impact Specialist Finance can help and support.
