Life & Protection Insurance - Appletree Finance

It’s great to be optimistic and hope for the best, but you also need to plan for the worst. The simple truth of the matter is that even if the odds are very much against something bad happening to you, or the people you love, sometimes life throws you a challenge and having the right insurance can help you deal with it.

As a rule of thumb, if you really need it, or just really value it, then it’s worth protecting as much as you can. For example, if you have dependents, life cover is generally highly advisable. You might also want to look at your options for medical cover and income protection cover.

Last but definitely not least, if your family includes pets, then it’s often a good idea to get insurance for them too. Not only can they give you peace of mind for vets’ bills but some policies offer support if your pet causes damage to a third party.
