Term vs. Permanent

There are two primary types of life insurance: term and permanent. Understanding the differences between them can help individuals and businesses choose the right coverage based on their financial goals and long-term needs. 

Choosing the Right Coverage for Your Needs

Affordable, Time-Specific Protection

Term life insurance provides coverage for a fixed period, such as 10, 20, or 30 years. It is a cost-effective solution for individuals and businesses looking for temporary protection.

Lower Premiums

More affordable than permanent insurance.

Fixed Coverage Period

Ideal for income replacement, mortgage protection, or key business needs.

No Cash Value

Unlike permanent policies, term life does not accumulate value over time.
