Term Life Insurance and Business Insurance

Term Insurance

They say life hangs on a thread. Life is full of uncertainties, and while death is something that no one can avoid, it does not mean that everyone will live to a ripe old age for that to happen. One has to contend with sickness, accidents, all kinds of eventualities. If one is the family sole bread owner, or what is more common now, even if there are two person bringing in income for the family, the survivors suffer from a fall of standard of living or may even get into financial difficulties in the eventuality of a bread winner passing away if he/she has no life insurance. It is wise therefore for one who has dependents to purchase life insurance to protect the dependents.

What exactly is life insurance? It is essentially a contract between an insurance policy owner and the insurer, whereby the insurer agrees to pay a sum of money upon the policy owner's death. In return, the policy owner (or policy payer) agrees to pay an agreed amount called a premium at regular intervals or more rarely, in a lump sum.

There are all kinds of life insurance, but term life insurance, can be considered the purest form of life insurance. True term life insurance is like car insurance which is normally purchase for a year, but term life insurance are normally for longer periods, but both share the feature that if nothing happens to the insured, he/she gets nothing back. But is is also the insurance that requires the lowest premium.

However, it is not easy to persuade someone to purchase something which to him may just seem to be a piece of paper, and he/she will get nothing back in return if he survive the period. Thus "Return of Premium Term Insurance" (ROP) was born. For this, you pay a higher premium, but if nothing happens to you, you get back the premium you paid at the end of the insured period. It is a mixture of life insurance and savings. I you want to find out more about return of premium insurance, you can fill in this Contact Form.
