Life Insurance

We are currently in the process of taking out a life insurance policy.

We are both Company Directors of a LTD company.  The Broker has advised we opt for a level term policy and pay the monthly payment through the business, as we will not pay tax on it.

Is this the correct way to go forward?

    Why dont you trust your broker?

    Assuming your business is profitable then relevant life insurance will tend to be cheaper overall but it also depends on what your business plans are... if you intend to pack it in before your life insurance will end or hope to sell the business then it may not be a good idea.

    As to level term, that depends on what you are intending the insurance to cover

    If the broker is an adviser then yes.  Advisers are required to give advice and suitable solutions to fit your scenario.    

    There are potential negatives of the company paying the premium but for many people, it makes sense.  But your adviser should cover the pros and cons.
