Why Use a Financial Adviser?
Ensuring you’ve bought the right insurance isn’t easy. Getting it wrong could mean the difference between peace of mind and loss of livelihood. That’s where an adviser comes in.
As your financial adviser, we act as a link on your behalf, between you and the insurance companies. We identify your requirements and then search the market to find cover that best suits you. Using a financial adviser means you get the best advice for you, your family, your lifestyle and your business. Our knowledge, experience and risk management skills help us get an in-depth understanding of your life and insurance requirements. We identify risks, recommend the best protection for your needs, negotiate terms with the insurer and give objective advice.
There is no fee for our service. The insurer remunerates us when you take an insurance policy. The insurance companies set the pricing of the premiums and these premiums are the same whether you go direct to the insurance company or through an adviser.
Of course one of the biggest benefits is having someone on your side at claim time. In times of stress this can make all the difference. Should you need to make a claim, our specialist claims team will manage the process for you, from start to finish. We know what information is needed and we guide you through the process. Our knowledge of how policies work and our relationships with insurers ensure your claims are settled fairly and promptly and in line with your policy wording.
Not all companies and policy wordings are created equal. Some companies are better suited for certain occupations, family history, even by gender. Our job is to know the policy wordings and recommend to you where best suits your needs and why.
