Pruprotect and Pruhealth came to the UK market in 2007 with Discovery, a South African insurer with a policy unlike anything else ever seen. Their aim was to change the critical illness market forever. The idea of combing a fresh thinking south african company (the birth place of critical illness) and Prudential with over 150 years worth of experience in the insurance field allowed them to launch new plans that changed the way advisers and customer treat insurance. In November 2014 Discovery purchased the remaining 25% stake in PruHealth from Prudential, thus made Discovery a sole owner of the company. Immediately after purchase Discovery re-branded PruHealth to a new trade mark called VitalityHealth, and it's sister company PruProtect rebranded to VitalityLife, both under the Vitality umbrella brand.

Why Proadvice?
Our sole aim is to advise and recommend the best polices for you should the worst happen. People come to Proadvice to ensure that when they take out a protection plan, they are going to be adequately covered. We have years of experience reading the small print, in fact we love the small print. It is one of the things that make us stand out from the crowd. We can advise you of the plans most suited to your circumstances and let you know what you are covered for and just as importantly what you are not, so you can have complete peace of mind before you take out the plan. The protection industry is an industry that wants to pay. Last year it was a record breaking year for pay outs, although it is important to know how to set the plan up correctly.
We know there might be more interesting and exciting things to do than taking out insurance however, we know how important it is to get it right. The insurance and financial industry isn't known for simplicity and can have difficult to understand literature.
We aim to change that.
Life insurance with advice
Taking out the cheap option may seem like the easies thing to do when taking out life insurance, critical illness cover and income protection. There are so many choices to make it can seem like you are in a minefield and unsure which way to turn and people could end up taking a policy not suitable or worse give up on the idea all together.
Most people will speak to an adviser who can guide them and recommended a plan that is tailor made for these circumstances. The other option would be to do it yourself and hope you have the right plan and it is set up correctly. In 2005 the Financial Services Authority (FSA) made buying insurance more easier to understand, if you wanted to sell life insurance you could offer advice or just offer a quote service and offer no advice whatsoever. With no advice all the broker can do is give you the means to set the plan up. If the plan ends up owing inheritance tax, does not pay out because of your hobby or has exclusion you were unaware of the buck stops with you.
When taking a policy with advice all the small print and clauses are highlighted to you and are explained in a jargon freeway. The adviser can also make recommendations and give guidance to you about what sort of plans are most suitable some you may have even been aware of. Best of all you are completely protected through The Financial Conduct Authority, Financial Services Compensation Scheme & Data Protection Act 2018.
