Life is full of the unexpected, and even those who seem the healthiest can suffer from severe illnesses at some point in their life. Critical Illness Cover can protect you and your children should either of you be diagnosed with a serious illness such as cancer or suffer a heart attack or stroke. The lump-sum given can prove great financial support, and be put towards medical treatment, surgery, household outgoings and even cover loss of earnings. Available as part of a Life Insurance policy or a standalone quote, Critical Illness Cover can take many forms, including level term, decreasing term and even as enhanced children’s Critical Illness Cover.

We work with select providers based on quality or service, high % pay out rates and comprehensive levels of cover to ensure we can meet your needs.
