All SimplyBiz member firms and compliance first client firms will now have access to L&G’s range of general insurance products and services via the SimplyBiz Group mortgage club.
This includes household insurance, buildings and contents cover, landlords insurance and the newly launched short-term income protection product Lifestyle Cover.
Martin Reynolds, chief executive of SimplyBiz, said: “Adding Legal & General’s well known brand to our general insurance panel will provide our member firms with the opportunity to provide wider cover for their clients.
“SimplyBiz mortgage club members are some of the first advisers to be able to offer their customers Legal & General’s new flexible Lifestyle Cover product.
“This new product, which enables customers to protect a range of financial commitments, demonstrates how Legal & General has the ability to respond to changing customer needs and deliver a quality solution.”
Mark Holweger, intermediary director for Legal & General’s general insurance business, said: “It is fantastic to see the partnership between our two organisations, which are both recognised and established brands within the intermediary space, extended with the general insurance business now included on the SimplyBiz general insurance panel.
“Legal & General is proud of its longstanding and strong relationship as one of the founding providers on the SimplyProtect panel and the addition of our general insurance proposition builds on this success.
“With the support and hands on training provided by our regional sales team, we’re confident that our range of products and easy to use sales and application process will provide a very productive additional regular revenue stream for member firms of the SimplyBiz Group in the future.”
