Protecting your income when your family depends on it

Is this you? Early in your career, maybe starting a family, and your income is the plan.

Starter coverage when the budget is tight: focus on what matters most first, and add more later.

We help young professionals and families put income protection, life insurance and essential documents in a sensible order, starting with what your budget allows today.

The Risk Assessment is a free educational questionnaire about your income, existing protection, business and planning priorities. It adapts to your answers: 15–19 questions, with no medical questions. Allow about 5 minutes (estimated; take longer if you need).

You'll get your score and a call offer, not a sales pitch. The current Calendly session is 60 minutes.

Starting on a tight budget

We start with what your budget allows and the protection your family relies on most. We don't promise the cheapest option or quote prices here; costs depend on your age, health, coverage amount and insurer underwriting.

Where your plan can be exposed

  • One health event can interrupt savings and future home plans.
  • New dependants change how much protection may be appropriate.
  • Coverage, savings and estate documents are often started at different times.

Questions and answers

Do I need protection before buying a home?

It can be useful to review the income and debt a future mortgage will depend on. The right timing and amount depend on your circumstances.

Can I start small and add coverage later?

Often, yes. Some policies allow increases or conversions, subject to the policy terms and, in some cases, new underwriting.
