What do providers look at when providing a quote for death in service insurance?

Each provider will look at several factors when offering a quote for death in service cover. The higher the risk associated with an industry or job, the more they typically charge.

Some of the factors providers look at are:

  • The sector of industry a company works in. For example, a construction company may pay higher premiums than an office-based business. This is because the work undertaken on a construction site can be seen as higher risk.
  • The age of your employees. Insuring an older workforce can be more expensive as the risk to the provider may be increased.
  • Where your business is located.
  • The amount of cover you want for your employees.
