Why Is Life Insurance So Important?
Life insurance pays a "face amount" to the beneficiary of the policy upon the death of the insured. The purpose of life insurance is to fund the needs of anyone who would suffer from the loss of your income resulting from your death.
Life Insurance is used to satisfy both business and personal needs.

PERMANENT Insurance
Permanent insurance continues to provide coverage for as long as you continue to pay premiums. The premiums are based on your age at the time the policy is purchased, and typically do not increase with age. Because the premiums do not increase with age, the cost of coverage is initially more expensive than term insurance. The cost of a typical policy is significantly more than term insurance because the policies accumulate cash value, which may be refundable upon surrender of the policy. While the policy is in place, the cash value can be used as a source for an inexpensive loan or it can be used to pay premiums.
