It's very important that you check the proposal form and confirm everything is correct. Inaccurate information could lead to your policy being cancelled or claims being rejected.

Once you’re happy everything is accurate, just return the signed documents to us and we’ll confirm cover with your insurance provider.

They will then send you any further relevant information about your policy, including how to contact them to make a claim.

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

Each insurance company 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 whose staff work on site are likely to be charged higher premiums than an office-based business.
  • The age of your employees. Insuring an older workforce is likely to be more expensive as the risk to the provider is potentially increased.
  • Where your business is located.
  • The amount of cover you want for your employees.

Please note, the quotes you receive from our panel of insurance providers may vary from the estimated figure returned by our calculator, as they will be based on detailed information you submit in the quote process.
