Personal insurance

The personal insurance area covers the main individual protection coverages. The insurer offers income protection insurance, also known as sick pay insurance, which provides a monthly replacement income of up to 70% of gross annual earnings in the event of inability to work due to accident, sickness or unemployment. The firm notes that this product is especially useful for the self-employed, contractors, people without sick pay or savings, and professionals in higher-risk occupations.

It also markets life insurance, which pays a lump sum in the event of death, with level or decreasing cover options, aimed at protecting the family or covering the mortgage and other debts. Critical illness insurance covers more than 40 conditions defined in the insurer's terms, such as heart attack, cancer or stroke, through the payment of a lump sum. The firm recommends comparing income protection with critical illness insurance for working adults, as it considers it may be more comprehensive and cost-effective.

The offering is completed by private health insurance, which gives access to private health facilities throughout the UK with the aim of speeding up diagnosis and treatment, and by mortgage protection.

Business protection

In the business sphere, Drewberry offers coverages designed to guarantee business continuity and protect partners and key employees. These include key person insurance, which provides a lump sum if an essential individual dies or suffers a critical illness; shareholder protection insurance, which protects the owner's investment and allows the remaining shareholders to keep control of the company; business loan insurance, which covers the outstanding balance of a corporate loan in the event of death or critical illness of a key person or shareholder; and relevant life insurance, an individual policy that replicates death in service cover for a single employee when there are not enough members to set up a group plan.

Employee benefits

The employee benefits area includes company health insurance, which gives employees quick access to private medical treatment; group life insurance, which pays a lump sum to the beneficiaries of employees who die during their employment; and group income protection, which guarantees a percentage of monthly salary in the event of long-term illness. These are joined by group critical illness insurance, which pays a tax-free multiple of salary for conditions such as cancer, heart attack or stroke, and other benefits such as company pension schemes, employee discount programmes and total reward statements.

Tools and resources

The firm makes cost calculators and online quote comparison tools available to users for the different products, in order to compare offers from British insurers. It also maintains a knowledge centre with guides on income protection, life insurance, critical illness and health, among other subjects, and publishes informative content on pensions and workplace benefits.
