Flexible protection solutions for business
Our Business Life Insurance Options and Relevant Life Insurance products each offer flexible cover and a range of options.
And our Aviva Life Protection Solutions (ALPS) platform makes writing business protection with us as seamless as possible – with expert support on hand and the ability to quote, apply and track your cases online.
On top of this, our online Trust process for business products makes it easier and quicker to put your clients' policies in Trust.
Aviva Relevant Life Insurance. Discover the difference
Like other relevant life insurance products, ours provides a death-in-service benefit for your clients' key employees. But unlike others, it offers employee significant illness cover – a unique option which pays out if an illness covered by the policy leads to retirement or anticipated retirement.
We've gone the extra mile to develop this tax efficient offering which HMRC has confirmed operates within current legislation.
