Insurance

Insurance is generally divided into 2 main categories:

Life Insurance

You pay a fixed sum of money every week or month over a number of years. It provides protection for your family should you die. But if you cash in your policy in the first few years (Usually the first two) you are likely to lose money.

General Insurance Means insuring your property against loss or damage ie. car, camera, motor bike etc. or if you rent or own your own home you may need a house contents and/or building policy. You can get leaflets and information on all types of insurance. Use a reputable company. Contact:
