Are you concerned about providing for a family, meeting mortgage payments or bills should an accident (or worse) happen whilst enjoying outdoor sports then speak to a specialist at Sports Financial Services today.

We’ll be happy to discuss the financial protection options available for your sport and lifestyle.

We have a great deal of experience helping those who enjoy hazardous sports. We were originally founded, over 20 years ago, as Summit Financial Services (www.summit-fs.co.uk) to meet the needs of climbers, hillwalkers and mountaineers.

As we engaged with an increasing number of people who enjoyed the outdoors, we received more enquiries from people who participated in a wide range of other outdoor sports.

Ultimately, this led to the creation of Sports Financial Services to offer financial protection for a wide range of sports.

Life Insurance options for outdoor sports participants

You can talk to us about different insurance options in relation to you providing for a family or covering mortgage payments should an accident (or worse) happen.

If you are concerned about cover for injury, accident, income, life or health then talk to us to discuss the options available for you.

Outdoor sports insurance cover

As outdoor sport specialists, we have developed knowledge and experience in providing financial protection for a wide range of sports and occupations.

Broadly, we specialise in three types of cover:

  • Life Insurance – typically a lump sum to pay off a mortgage, debts or provide a for a family in the event of death.
  • Critical Illness Cover – financial peace of mind in the event that you are diagnosed with a specific condition detailed in the policy.
  • Income Protection – if you are concerned that an accident or illness may prevent you from working for a period of time then an Income Protection policy maybe something to discuss with us.

Depending on the specifics of your occupation or recreation there may be loadings, restrictions or exclusions applied to certain types of cover.

We work with the whole of market rather than being restricted to a captive or select number of financial products or services.

In addition, if you keep up a health regime and participate in a regular fitness plan, you may also want to speak to us about policies that monitor your fitness and reward you for keeping fit and healthy.

Outdoor sports – frequently asked questions:

To discuss the options available to you please call or contact us online to discuss the best deal we can offer you based on your sport, lifestyle and needs.

Our regular engagement with people who participate in many extreme sports and occupations means that we are happy to discuss a range of questions, such as:

  • Do I incur premium loadings because of my outdoor sporting activities?
  • Are there any restrictions to policies because of my outdoor sport?
  • Can I obtain Life Insurance because of my recreation, occupation and lifestyle?
  • Is Critical Illness Cover available for my sport?
  • Because of my sporting activities can I obtain Income Protection?

The process of applying for Life Insurance for participants in outdoor sports?

If you enquire about cover with us, we will discuss a number of details in relation to you, your sport and your lifestyle.

As with any enquiry for this type of cover it is important that you declare information about your sports, occupation, lifestyle, pre-existing medical conditions, hazardous activities and other questions completely.

This will assist us in guiding you through the journey of applying for cover:

  • A fact-find of your needs – discovering what you do and your particular needs
  • Researching providers of cover and the availability of cover for the type of sport you participate
  • Contacting and liaising with insurers
  • Discussing if there are any exclusions, loadings or restrictions as a result of the information you have disclosed
  • Discussing premium options, costs and payment terms.

In general, the availability of cover and premiums for cover are dependent on a range of factors such as personal health, family history, lifestyle, occupation and type of sporting activities pursued.

Deciding on the amount of cover that is right for you can involve many factors such as the need to cover bills, mortgage payments or a lumpsum for a partner or family should the worst happen.

In choosing the duration over which you would like cover you may want to consider your life stage and the need to meet obligations such as providing for a family, meeting bill obligations or paying off a mortgage.

Can you still help me if I already have Life Insurance, Income Protection or Critical Illness policy in place for my outdoor sport?

Even if you have a policy in place elsewhere, we will still be happy to hear from you.

Even if this is only to provide you with the peace of mind of knowing that your cover and premiums are comparable with current market products.

If you have been declined Life Insurance cover previously it does not mean that you will not be able to get cover again. It may be the case that your specific circumstances have changed or new insurers have come to the market with new products – so it is always worth a quick enquiry.
