  1. Becoming an Expat – Financial planning before you leave home

    Moving to a new country to start a new life can be very exciting, but also a bit overwhelming with everything that you have to organize before you leave. Here is a helpful list of financial matters which should be thought about.

  2. Why should you buy Life Insurance when getting a Mortgage

    The main reason to buy life insurance if you have a mortgage is to ensure that all or part of your mortgage is paid off in the event of your death. This means your partner or family can continue to live in the family home  without having to worry about making mortgage repayments when they have already lost one household income.

  3. Whole of Life insurance - When do you need this?

    Key man insurance is life insurance on the key person in a business. In a small business, this is usually the owner, the founders or perhaps an employee, such as Sales Director or Portfolio Manager, who is responsible for much of the firm’s revenue.

    The people who you need key man insurance are the people who are crucial to a business-the ones whose absence would be the downfall of the company.

    For example; Tony’s estate is worth £1,000,000, this includes his properties, cash, collectibles etc. If Tony died, then the beneficiaries of his estate would have to pay the UK government £270,000 in UK inheritance tax (£1,000,000 - £325,000 = £675,000 @ 40%). They may have to sell part of his estate to afford this tax bill.
