This is a policy, paid for by the business, that gives all of its employees life cover. It is a great benefit for attracting and retaining staff. Again, it is very flexible: you can add remote GP access, remote physiotherapy, ‘Employee Assistance Programmes’ and so on. It can also be set up to reward different levels of responsibility.
We will sit down with you to understand your business and how best to protect its ongoing viability and success. We will explain the complete range of options available to you, detailing the pros and cons of every product. The benefit to you is that we can offer every product on the market.
Many brokers will claim to offer ‘whole of market,’ but that may just mean that they offer every kind of product, but that they are all from the same insurer. Independent means that we can offer every kind of product from every insurer.
Sometimes it seems that there are almost as many financial advisors as there are financial products. Why should you choose us. We think there are many reasons of course, but among the most important are the following:
This last is perhaps the most important. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. If we did not give our customers great service, they simply would not return.

For Employers/Employees: this is the maximum coverage amount an employee can receive under the scheme without having to provide medical information. If an employee’s calculated benefit exceeds this amount, they will need to complete medical underwriting.
For Employers: the employer purchases the policy and pays the premiums, which generally qualify as a tax-deductible business expense. Costs are based on the overall demographics of your workforce (e.g., average age, industry type, and total salary roll) rather than individual health.
For Employees: generally, no. In the UK, payouts are usually set up through a discretionary trust, meaning the money does not form part of your estate and escapes Inheritance Tax. It is also not classified as a P11d benefit, so employees pay no extra income tax on it.
For Employers: yes. Provided staff members are on the payroll, receive a regular salary, and meet eligibility criteria (such as minimum age or passing a probation period), they can usually be included in the scheme.
For Employees: your coverage ceases as soon as you leave or retire. However, some insurers offer a “conversion option” that allows you to transition the policy to a personal life insurance plan without full medical underwriting (though this usually comes at a much higher cost).
For Employees: yes. Many group life insurance schemes include valuable workplace support services at no extra charge, such as bereavement counselling, probate advice, and Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs)
