Although insurance can't protect your clients from facing a diagnosis of a serious illness, a payout can help with the additional expenses that people face when going through treatment and give them one less thing to worry about. And don’t forget, some plans can also provide emotional and practical support through additional services such as Royal London’s Helping Hand.
Coping with a critical illness is a worrying time. There’s no time like the present to check your clients have adequate protection in place to provide a cushion to ease the financial burden of being ill or caring for a loved one.
