Protection
Protection Advice Across the UK
If something happened to your income or health, would your mortgage and family still be covered? M&C Financial Services helps you find life insurance, critical illness cover, income protection and business protection that's genuinely right for your budget and circumstances, explained clearly.
The cheapest policy isn't always the right cover
It's easy to assume protection is just about finding the lowest monthly premium, but a cheap policy that excludes the conditions most relevant to you, or pays out less than you'd need, isn't really protecting anything.
We look at what the policy actually covers, how payouts are structured, and how insurers have historically handled claims, not just the price on the page, so what you end up with is cover that works when you actually need it.
Life Insurance
Life insurance gives your family financial support if you're no longer there to provide it, covering things like the mortgage, ongoing bills, or your children's future costs. We'll help you work out how much cover makes sense for your situation and compare policies across the market to find one that fits your budget.
We'll also explain the difference between level term, decreasing term and whole of life cover, so you understand what you're buying and why.
- Working out how much cover you actually need
- Understanding level term vs. decreasing term vs. whole of life
- Writing your policy in trust so payouts avoid inheritance tax
- Comparing premiums across the whole market
What we'll help you with:
Critical Illness Cover
Critical illness cover pays out a lump sum if you're diagnosed with a serious condition covered by your policy, giving you breathing room to focus on recovery rather than worrying about the mortgage or day-to-day costs. Policies vary significantly in what they cover and how strictly they define each condition, so we'll help you compare like for like, not just headline prices.
- Understanding what conditions are and aren't covered
- Comparing definitions between insurers, they're not all the same
- Deciding whether to combine this with life insurance or take it separately
- Finding cover that fits alongside your mortgage
What we'll help you with:
Income Protection
If illness or injury stopped you working, how long could you cover your bills without a salary coming in? Income protection replaces a portion of your income if you're unable to work, for as long as you need it, whether that's a few months or until retirement.
We'll help you understand the difference between short-term and long-term policies, and how your job, health history and existing sick pay affect what's available to you.
- Understanding how much income you could realistically protect
- Short-term vs. long-term policies
- How your occupation affects premiums and terms
- Making sure cover works alongside any employer sick pay
What we'll help you with:
Business Protection
If you run a business, how would it cope if you or a key colleague couldn't work? Business protection covers things like key person insurance, shareholder and partnership protection, and relevant life cover, helping keep the business running and protecting the people who depend on it.
We'll help you work out which type of cover fits your business structure, and compare policies across the market to find one that suits your budget and circumstances.
- Key person insurance to protect against losing a vital colleague
- Shareholder and partnership protection
- Relevant life cover for directors and employees
- Comparing business protection across the whole market
