An overview of why UK families need financial protection: the reality that 1 in 2 people are affected by cancer, most people have less than 3 months' savings, and statutory sick pay only covers £116/week. We discuss the protection gap in the UK and how life insurance, critical illness, and income protection work together to provide complete coverage.

About Life Insurance

Life insurance pays a lump sum to your beneficiaries if you die during the policy term. For families with mortgages, this ensures the home can be kept; for families with children, it replaces lost income and maintains their standard of living.

The payout amount should typically cover your mortgage balance plus 10 to 20 times your annual salary to replace income for surviving family members.
