Life (Term Insurance)
Affordable Protection for Your Loved Ones
What is Term Insurance?
Term insurance is a type of life insurance that provides coverage for a specified period or term, typically ranging from 10 to 30 years. If the policyholder passes away during this term, the beneficiary (usually family members) receives a lump sum payout, which can be used to cover expenses, debts, or future needs. Term insurance is a cost-effective way to ensure financial protection for your loved ones in case something unexpected happens to you.
