Who this is for

Households with a mortgage, young children, or a sole earner whose illness or death would leave a sharp income gap.

What you receive

A cover schedule showing what you already hold, gaps against realistic needs, and recommended policies or trust structures without overselling.

Included

  • Needs analysis against debts, childcare costs, and replacement income
  • Existing policy review including exclusions and trust status
  • Product recommendations from the whole of market within our permissions

Outside this engagement

  • Medical underwriting decisions made by insurers
  • Claims handling for existing policies held elsewhere

How we work through it

  1. Needs conversation

    We map dependants, debts, and how long cover should last.

  2. Existing cover audit

    Policies are reviewed for sum assured, term, and ownership.

  3. Recommendations

    You receive a shortlist with reasons, not a product pile.

Typical timeline: Usually two to three weeks including underwriting liaison where you proceed.

Delivery: Office, video, or home visit for families with young children by arrangement.

Preparation: Existing policy schedules, mortgage redemption figures, and a rough monthly budget.

Fees: Advice fee may be offset by provider commission where permitted; we disclose the arrangement before you instruct us.
