Protect yourself and your loved ones with individual life insurance products
There are many reasons why people choose to buy life insurance protection. It is extremely important to have adequate coverage based on your own individual needs and desires. One of the most common reasons to purchase life insurance is to provide tax-free dollars to your loved ones. There are other financially important reasons for buying life insurance such as corporate needs: life insurance proceeds can be used to buy out a partner or to help bring in a "key" individual to continue and run/operate the company.
It is important that your insurance consultant (broker) be extremely knowledgeable about today's market and the different programs that are available.
Life insurance can be used for:
- Ongoing Family Income
- Bequest to your favourite charity
- Starter financial plan for your child
- Mortgage protection
- Offsetting capital gains at death
- Tax shelter retirement income
Term Insurance
Designed to meet your short-term needs. Our brokers will shop the insurance market for the most competitive and affordable term insurance products. These products will address your individual short-term goals while offering you the flexibility to expand your coverage as your needs change. Term Insurance is less expensive when you first purchase the plan, and becomes much more costly as the years go by. Term insurance is generally purchased for a short term need such as a 20-year mortgage, or in a partnership buy-out situation. This type of policy normally terminates prior to the insured passing away.
