Life Insurance pays a lump sum in the event of death or a terminal illness. It provides financial protection for those who depend on you. It pays a one-off cash payment if you die. The amount of cover needed is tailored to suit your individual needs. The eligibility entry for those who can apply for life insurance is 16 to 75. There is no maximum level of cover, however – the cover is subject to financial and medical assessment.
Health Insurance provides the insured with options relating to health care, from the choice of hospital and treatment facility to the choice of specialist. We have a number of providers available and will find the best options for your needs.
Income Protection Insurance provides a monthly payment to you should you be unable to work through an accident or illness.

Despite your best intentions sometimes accidents still happen. Today’s businesses are exposed to an ever-growing list of legal liabilities.
