Get more from our Life Cover

Our Life Cover is available on a fixed term or renewable term basis. If you select a renewable term at the end of 5 years you have the option to take out a plan for a further 5 years.

More cover whilst we assess your application

With our PruProtect Plan your business will receive free cover at no extra cost whilst the business is waiting for its application to be assessed.

More flexibility to suit your business' needs

We offer Life Cover on a level, indexing or decreasing basis. With level cover, your cover is designed to stay the same over the life of the plan - it will only change if you change a cover. With indexed cover you can choose for your cover to increase in line with the Retail Prices Index (up to maximum of 10%) or by 2%, 3%, 4% or 5% p.a. With decreasing cover, your cover decreases each month in the same way as the outstanding capital on a repayment mortgage at an interest rate that you chose between 5% and 15%.

More safeguards with our guaranteed insurability options

Our guaranteed insurability options allow you to increase cover for your business when certain events happen without giving us information about the health of the person covered. These events include a change in the value of a keyperson, an increase in the value of a partner or shareholder's interest in the business and a new or increased loan or mortgage.
