Personal Life Risk & Medical Insurance
Nido Insurance Limited provides personalised advice that takes into account your individual circumstances to determine the personal risk products that best meet your personal goals and needs.

Pet Insurance
Nido Insurance Limited has chosen to work with Petplan with regards to pet insurance.
How I am paid

How I manage conflicts of interest and put your interests first
The services Nido Insurance Limited offer are provided free of charge to my clients. This is because Nido Insurance Limited is paid by the providers when one of their products is taken up on the back of my recommendation.
Although Nido Insurance Limited is paid by the providers, I always put your interests first:
-
- I follow a proven 6-step advice process that puts my client’s needs at the heart of the advice process
- I identify and disclose the maximum level of commission I may get on the back of my recommendation
- If my recommendation involves replacing cover, I will provide a comparison of covers and explain what the recommended provider offers that your existing cover does not. I will also let you know if there is anything your existing provider covers that the recommended provider will not.
- All my recommendations are provided in writing with an explanation as to how they are based on your individual needs
- Nido Insurance Limited completes internal and external reviews of my advice process to ensure I follow a thorough review process that puts client interest first.
