How we help you

You have car insurance in case you have an accident while driving.

What happens if you become seriously ill at work?

If you’re prepared, you will have some emergency funds.

What happens if you can’t get back to work when they run out?

What happens if you die, are your loved ones and children adequately protected?

Protection planning is all about making sure that should the worst happen that you don’t need to worry about where the money for this month’s bills is coming from.

In the UK it is estimated that 50% of people will get cancer in their lifetime (Lifetime risk of cancer, Cancer Research UK, Accessed 06/11/2023).

In the UK many underestimate the likely hood of becoming ill and overestimate how much help the government provides.

You need to ask your self are you truly protected.

We make protection planning simple to understand

We organise a no-obligation initial meeting

We find out about you and what you want to achieve - as well as gain a good understanding of your current position and explain a little more about us.

We go away and work on your problem

Financial planning requires consideration as we need to look at all the opportunities available. Typically, this takes us a couple of weeks but if it is complicated it may take us longer.

We come back and present our ideas to you

We take our ideas and explain the options; the pros, the cons and the costs. We make it simple to understand and then you decide what you want to do.

We work towards making your plan a reality

Once you have agreed to our plan, we work to make it happen. We then review and monitor everything with regular meetings to ensure you continue to receive the advice you need.

Key protection planning tools

Protection planning covers range of products and services and becomes even more complicated if you own a business. 

We use numerous providers to make a plan that considers what you need.

  • Life Cover (including Term Assurance and Whole of Life)
  • Critical Illness
  • Income Protection
  • Employee Benefits
  • Private Medical Insurance
 

Making sure that you are properly protected is one of the most important steps of Financial Planning. 

How much cover do I need?

To work out how much cover you need is not always straight forward.

  • Maintain your current lifestyle
  • Cover the mortgage
  • Look after children school and for university.

As you can see cover is most important when you have people who depend on you. 

Long-term care

It is possible that you will have the costs of long-term care.

The costs of long term care can be very expensive.

So having provisions in place is important. 

You need someone to make sure your finances are in order and that you go to a good care home should you need to.

Wills and powers of attorney

A well written Will makes sure that your money goes where you want it to and can also be a powerful tool for looking after your loved ones.

Powers of attorney are a useful tool should you ever become unable to handle your own affairs. Taking into consideration any future care needs you may have.

Will writing and Powers of Attorney involve the referral to a service which is separate and distinct to those offered by St. James’s Place and are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

Whilst we provide the bespoke and tailored service of a small firm.

The suitability of our advice has the backing of one of the UK’s largest wealth management companies.

Ultimately, this gives you an extra layer of protection and the best of both worlds.
