What is Life Insurance?
Life insurance protection underpins good financial planning – it ensures the right amount of money will reach the right people, at the right time, if the worst was to happen.
Why might you need life insurance?
The payout of life insurance may be a lump sum or a regular income. There are various reasons why life insurance might be needed:-
- Paying off a mortgage or a loan if the borrower dies.
- Protecting a family against the early death of a spouse, partner or parent with family life insurance.
- Protecting financially independent children against the loss of a guardian.
- Paying for a funeral.
- Paying for inheritance tax.
- Protecting a business against the financial consequences of the loss of its owner.
What our clients had to say
Don’t just take our word for it, take a look below to read Allan’s first-hand account of their experience with our life insurance advice:
Searching for a local Financial adviser I looked at Acumen Financial Partnership. The main problem was, through poor past experience I had totally lost trust in anyone involved with finances. However, Acumen’s “About Us” page revealed Angela Maher had worked for David Roberts & Partners whom I had my business insurances with for many years.
I found Acumen to be very professional in their approach, explaining their services and charges during the initial meeting. This was followed up by excellent, sound, unbiased advice which has been a huge help with my pension and mortgage investments. This has also restored my faith in people dealing with finance. Phil Jones dealt with my enquiry, he is 100% professional in his approach and yet you feel you are dealing with a friend not someone on the opposite side of a desk who actually has their own interest as a priority. I would without hesitation recommend this firm.
