What is Income Protection?

Income protection insurance is a type of policy that would make regular payments to you in the vent you have a loss of income due to a medium to long-term illness, injury or disability.

The payment of benefits only begins after a deferred period, a set period of time described in the policy document. A shorter deferred period usually means premium will cost you more. Before you make a decision on the deferred period, check if your employer offers sick pay and if so, how much and for how long.

The amount of income insured can be decided upon when taking out the policy. This is usually 66% or 75% of your earnings before you became ill or disabled, less any other income you get while out of work, such as sick pay, and single person’s social welfare illness benefit – if you are entitled to it. Payment usually lasts until you can return to work or reach the age threshold of the benefit cessation age described in the policy.

Do I Need Income Protection?

Income protection would be worth considering if you are self employed with no other source of income, have little paid sick leave from your employer or you do not have sufficient benefits to replace any potentially lost income.

Before taking out an income protection policy you should check if there are any other benefits you might be entitled to such as social welfare payments, sick pay or ill health retirement pension plans.

Costs will usually depend on your job, the level of cover you want, your age, health, medical history and lifestyle choices, ie smoking and drinking.

Do I need mortgage protection insurance

Mortgage protection insurance pays out a lump sum which is sufficiently large enough to pay off the outstanding debt if you die before the end of your mortgage term.

Policies can be taken out in joint names and if one of the policies holders dies the policy benefit is paid directly to the lender and if there is an amount left over this can pass to the joint holder.

 

Mortgage lenders will require you to have a policy in place before you can draw down your mortgage.

As insurance brokers we are not tied to any particular bank or institute. We will research the market on your behalf and advise you on the options available.

Its important that you get the best value and highest quality mortgage protection cover available. We aim to always offer the best coverage at competitive prices.

At Lloyds we can offer mortgage protection on a dual lie basis for the same price as joint life. This would get you double the cover at no extra cost.

Starting your pension

Reasons to start your pension contributions

For many people their pension will be their second largest asset after their home. In order to have the home we want, many people have to take out mortgages. None of us want to be putting a mortgage repayment into our pension, so we should really plan for our retirement as early as possible. Listed below are ten reasons to invest in a pension

  • You will save tax on pension contributions, on any investment growth and on income in retirement (within limits)
  • Your income could drop by up to 70% in retirement as the maximum state pension (contributory) is ~€12,000 a year while the average wage is ~€35,000 a year
  • You may need an income for up to 30 years or more when you retire. This could amount to up to a third of your life, so it makes sense to start saving early.
  • If you do qualify for the state pension you could be 68 before you receive it as the qualifying age is changing from 65 to 68. That is a potential shortfall of ~€25,000 per year for 3 years.
  • Starting pension contributions early can have a significant impact on your retirement fund.
  • Higher rate tax payers can potentially benefit from up to 40% in tax relief on every €1 saved. A €100 contribution only costs you €60! If you pay at the standard rate you can benefit from 20% tax relief.
  • A pension can give you access to a wide range of investment funds which can give your money potential for growth over the longer term.
  • At retirement you may be able to take a retirement lump sum, tax free, subject to a limit of €200,000
  • Investment choice, choose from a wide range of investment funds from global investment specialists.
  • The sooner you start the better. Even if you are older its not too late. You can claim tax relief on a higher percentage of your earnings so there may still be time to catch up.

Reasons to use a broker

Pensions used to be a lot simpler than they are today. You didn’t have the same range of products to pick from. You might have had a choice of only 4 or 5 funds to invest in and at retirement, you only had to decide if you were taking or leaving the lump sum. With the remainder you got a pension for as long as you lived.

 

Today there are a confusing number of Pension products to choose from. You could have to pick from up to 40 different funds, and when you retire, there are several options to pick from, some with terms and conditions attached, just to add to the confusion.

 

This is why you need your Broker to help you identify the right Pensions savings plan, assist in picking the right fund, meet you regularly to ensure your plans are kept in line with any changes in your circumstances, and eventually, guide you through your options in retirement.

Do I Need Liability Insurance

“Liability insurance” or “third party insurance” is the term used to describe a product that provides the insured party protection against claims arising from injury or damage to a third party or their property.

Any legal expenses and payouts that an insured party is accountable for if they are proven legally liable are covered by liability insurance plans. Liability insurance, unlike other forms of insurance, pays third parties rather than policyholders.

Every type of business need some form of liability insurance. Liability insurance is required if you work as a tradesperson, operate a shop, office, or factory, or organize an event.

The main types of liability insurances that can be purchased are

Public Liability

The purpose of public liability insurance is to protect your company in the event that you are sued by a third party who claims they have suffered a loss as a consequence of negligence.

Employers liability

Employers Liability Insurance protects your company against legal liability in the event of an employee’s accident, illness, disease, or death while on the job.

Products liability

Product Responsibility Policy offers coverage for legal liability resulting in injury, loss, or damage as a result of items sold or provided, or labor or services performed in the course of your business, up to the amount of coverage specified during any one insurance term.

Builders And Trades Insurances in Ireland

Specialist insurance is mandatory for those working as a builder, contractor or other trade in Ireland. In addition, building and the trades are high risk professions, which make securing appropriate and comprehensive insurance essential.

Appropriate insurance will cover any damage done to their client’s property. Without appropriate insurance you could find yourself missing out on clients or losing significant income to repairs or accidental damage to client’s property.

What type of cover do I need?

Do I need life insurance?

Life insurance is not something that you should avoid or delay considering. You or the people that depend on you could need life insurance at any time.

But how do you find out what policy is for you and why exactly would it be necessary or beneficial for you?

Why do you need life insurance?

Insurance in general is a means to manage and minimise risk. Different outcomes and events can have different probability to occur and different financial consequences. Life insurance does not insure you against a potential risk; it insures you against a certainty; death.

Usually life insurance is necessary to aid any dependents you have that would be negatively financially impacted by your death. Life insurance can be a way for your dependents to pay off a large debt or mortgage on a home or asset you wish to bequeath in your will.

If you have a spouse, children or other dependents then you probably don’t want them to have to change their lifestyle, deal with financial uncertainty or even having to move, losing their home as well as a loved one. Life insurance can help cover all of these worries. Life insurance can ensure that dependents are able to keep the family home and can even cover regular cost of living expenses and plans for the future.

A life insurance policy could still be useful even if you are a single person with no dependents. It can help cover debts and unavoidable end of life expenses such as funeral arrangements. Life insurance can also allow you to leave behind money to any other loved ones.

The Benefits of using an Insurance Broker

Insurance Broker Vs Insuring Directly:

Below are listed some benefits of using an insurance broker such as Lloyds over insuring directly with an insurance company, bank or building society:

Impartiality
An insurance broker is not biased towards any particular provider so can pick the best option for their client whereas the client takes full responsibility for coverage decisions and any mistakes made if they insure directly.

Client Relationship
It is easier for a client to build an ongoing relationship and loyalty with a broker as they spend time getting to know clients and how to serve them best over a long period.  Larger insurance companies cannot offer the same level of personal attention. With larger insurance companies, clients may talk to a different call centre operator each time they need advice/help.

Claims Service
Brokers manage the process and stress of making a claim on the clients behalf whereas with an insurance company, the client must manage the process themselves, often in a crisis situation. Clients are often left confused and upset at claim conflicts that may arise.

Best Prices
Perhaps the biggest benefit of using an insurance broker is the fact that they search for the best prices, value and benefits for clients. Brokers take the hassle out of searching around for the best policies, saving the client the time and money doing it themselves.

Policy Choice
Brokers have full and easier access to the entire insurance market when choosing the best option for a client. An insurance company can only offer their own product.

Professional Advice
A broker will offer detailed reasons why they recommend one product over another and are at hand to offer professional advice at every step. An insurance institution can only offer advice on their own product.

Simple Language
The insurance industry is famously jargon filled and often direct insurance provider policies are difficult if not impossible to understand. Larger insurance companies may not take the time to explain the intricacies of a policy to a client. Insurance brokers have made a point of speaking in laymen’s terms when dealing with clients and letting them know in plain English what the best options and actions are.

Market Service Standards
Brokers will be used to dealing with multiple different insurance companies and will be used to the service standards of each so can better ensure the best company to go with in terms of service, price and benefits to the client. Once a client chooses their own insurance company, you are at the mercy of that provider and their level of service.

Broker Commission Explained:

A broker’s commission or remuneration is a fee paid to brokers for the placement of business with a particular insurance institution. In return for this fee the broker provides the following:

  • Proposing the risk
  • Assisting the insurer with any information required in relation to risk
  • Incepting the policy and handling all policy documentation for the consumer on behalf of the insurer
  • Notifying the consumer of policy renewal dates
  • Collecting the fee/premium from the consumer on behalf of the insurer
  • Handling premiums and managing a dedicated premium account for onwards transmission to insurers
  • Ensuring broker staff are qualified to give advice on the insurer’s behalf
  • Bear compliance and administration costs in relation to transacting business on an insurer’s behalf
  • Assimilate costs of implementing IT and security requirements of insurers to ensure online products are safely transacted for the consumer.
