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.
WHEN IT COMES TO INVESTING the right advice could be the difference between reaching your financial goals or not.
THAT’S WHERE we COME IN.
As your financial adviser, we act as a link on your behalf, between you and the insurance/investment company. We identify your requirements and then search the market to find the best solutions for 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 financial requirements. We identify risks, recommend the best solutions for your needs, negotiate terms with the insurers, and give objective insurance and investment advice.
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 an insurance 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.

With insurance policies there are no fees 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.
