UK Life Direct:

"Our Company Directors, who are experienced independent financial advisers, spotted an opportunity to offer low cost life insurance to UK residents. Life Direct commenced trading in June 2000. We offer life policies from all the major insurers at lower cost than dealing directly with them. We do this by sacrificing commission which directly reduces the premiums payable. We search the whole market and obtain discounted quotations for you.

When you decide to apply for a policy our administration team work alongside the insurer to expedite your cover. Our advisers can also provide guidance on placing your plan in trust to help alleviate inheritance tax and/or speed up payment of policy proceeds.

In November 2004 Life Direct teamed up with Assureweb (part of the Sesame Group of Companies and owned by Misys PLC). We jointly created an online quotation function to allow visitors to obtain instant discounted quotations via this website. Our partnership with Assureweb will ensure that Life Direct remains at the forefront of technology and deliver the best possible service to the end-user.

We independently search the entire market for the lowest life insurance premiums. We then provide a discount which reduces the premium even further."
