Where Can I Find Out About Life Insurance Providers?

Life Insurance can be obtained from many sources. Most high street banks and building societies will sell life cover although they are 'tied', which means they will only sell products from their own company or a company that they have strong links with. For example, Lloyds TSB banks only sell products from C&G, who they merged with some years ago.

Other companies sell direct, through the Internet or over the phone. You can find these from on the Internet, or from adverts in the newspapers, particularly on a Sunday when most papers have a section on personal finance. They also advertise on the television and radio.

You can also get advice from Independent Financial Advisers (IFAs). These advisers are the opposite of 'tied' advisers in that they will sell products from a variety of sources and discuss options with you so that you get the product that best fits your circumstances.
