Did you know that every year over a million people in the UK are off work for a month or longer due to illness?
And did you know that in the UK, the current level of Statutory Sick Pay is just £96.35 per week? That’s for employed people, if you’re self-employed you won’t qualify to receive anything.
Think about that for a moment.
Now, let’s compare this to the actual cost of living in the UK: an average of £500 per week. Not forgetting days out, other finance agreements and debts, alternative modes of transport, birthdays, medication, and other necessities such as clothing or providing for more than one child.
If you were unable to work due to a serious illness or injury.
…Would you be able to cope with £96.35 per week?
Regardless of whether you have children or not, if getting ill or injured means you couldn’t pay the bills, then you might want to consider income protection insurance.
An IP claim is not a one-off payment. Claims can last for years and will pay out up to 75% of your income each month in a tax-free lump sum.
At LV, the longest ever claim has run for 32 years and counting, for a member who has since been diagnosed with epilepsy following a stroke. Their payout now totals nearly £300,000.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need protection?
Every owner would agree that running a business is no walk in the park.
Problems can occur at every turn. Often the one most entrepreneurs don’t foresee, is the ones which affect them personally.
But what happens if you unexpectedly get ill?
You must ask yourself how long the business could operate without you?
How long could it afford to pay your wage?
Business protection is reassurance.
How much does this process cost?
It’s free to use BulbFin to find business protection – you’ll never be charged for quotes.
Some forms of protection could cost the same each month as a Netflix subscription or a meal out. Unlike those past times, however, the cost won’t rise.
Our partners look far and wide to find the best deal, so if you find a quote cheaper elsewhere let us know.
Does insurance actually pay out?
97% of all individual claims were paid out in 2016.
That’s an average of £13m a day for individual life, critical illness and income protection insurance claims, according to the Association of British Insurers.
Our partners work to a figure more akin to 98%.
The 2%? Those are usually fraudulent or cases of misinformation.
If the advice is free, how do you make money?
When you start a policy with one of our partners they pay us a small referral fee.
We truly believe that everyone who has financial commitments needs to protect themselves with the right form of insurance. Therefore, we take pride in helping people receive expert financial advice.
If it’s free how do you make money?
It’s true! Our advice is free. Our partners pay us a small commission if you elect to consolidate your pension through their service. It’s a win/win/win situation!
Why do I need to speak to someone on the phone?
There are a couple of reasons it’s important you speak to someone on the phone.
Business cover is not like travel or even car insurance where the payouts are in the thousands. With business protection the claim may be in the hundreds of thousands – sometimes more. Therefore insurance companies like to have a recorded conversation to ensure you are who you say you are.
Also, speaking to a real person will help you get expert advice to find the right cover to suit your circumstances.
Can I trust your partners?
Absolutely.
No need to take our word for it. All of our insurance partners are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
They are held to a high standard and have a duty of care to everyone they speak to.
