Group Life – competitively-priced life insurance cover for companies
Our Group Life products have been designed to help meet the financial needs of your client’s employees as well as the practical considerations of their business. It offers:

          Lump sum payment. This is an amount of money (either fixed or multiple of salary) that is paid to the scheme trustees in the event of an insured member’s death. Lump sums are usually tax-free (under current legislation)

          Low-cost premiums – our policies are designed to be tailored to individual company needs. By pricing for the long term, our aim is to keep costs low and meet the needs of the employer. In addition, under current UK legislation, premiums are usually treated as a business expense

          Flexibility to choose level of cover needed – your client has the freedom to choose the level of benefit needed for their staff or whether lump sum and dependant pensions are selected

          Dependant’s/children’s pension options – your client can choose to include this option so that in addition to a lump sum, the deceased’s dependant and/or children can receive a pension based on the employee’s own pension or their salary

          Added-value benefits – we also support employees’ families through this difficult time by providing a bereavement helpline that offers advice from trained bereavement counsellors.
