Why do financial professionals refer their clients to PRP?

Life insurance advice is a specialised area of financial planning, and having the right expertise can make all the difference.

In our latest video, Corey Evans, Partner and Head of Advice at Personal Risk Professionals, shares why financial planners, finance brokers, accountants and lawyers choose to partner with PRP.

For many financial planners, life insurance is an important part of their clients' overall financial strategy, but it may not be their area of specialisation.

That's where PRP comes in.

By working collaboratively with our professional partners, we provide the specialist knowledge, experience and processes needed to deliver tailored life insurance advice, allowing our referral partners to focus on what they do best.

At PRP, life insurance is all we do.

We believe the best outcomes for clients come when their trusted advisers work together.

At Personal Risk Professionals, we work alongside accountants, financial planners and other professional advisers, providing specialist life insurance advice that complements their broader advice.

In this video, our Founder and Managing Director, Mark Everingham, shares why collaboration is at the heart of what we do and how PRP has become a trusted life insurance advice partner for professional services firms.

Better collaboration. Better advice. Better outcomes for clients.

There are plenty of misconceptions around life insurance.

As the Founder of PRP, Mark has seen plenty of them over the years. In this video, he shares some of the common misconceptions he sees, from thinking the cover through super is enough, to believing insurance companies don’t pay claims.

Having the right advice and someone in your corner can make a real difference when it matters most.

And tomorrow, we are also celebrating Mark’s birthday.

Happy birthday, Mark. We hope you have a great day!

We’ve hit the $80 million mark. $83,304,827.82 in claims, to be exact.

It’s a significant milestone for Personal Risk Professionals, but for us, it represents much more than a dollar figure.

Behind every claim is a person, a family or a business navigating a difficult time. Being there to support our clients, advocate on their behalf and help make the claims process a little easier is at the heart of what we do.

We’re incredibly proud of our team and grateful to the clients who have trusted us to support them when it matters most.

$83,304,827.82 in claims, and every one has a story behind it.

We are very happy to welcome Jack Mehrtens back to PRP, joining us as an Adviser Associate while he completes his Professional Year.

After spending some time exploring holistic financial advice, Jack has decided that his real passion lies in risk advice and we are pretty pleased to have him back where it all started!

A little behind-the-scenes look at our recent PRP photoshoot

We recently spent some time with the team capturing new photos for the PRP website that’s currently in the works.

It was a great day and a good opportunity to get everyone together and capture some more natural shots of the people behind PRP.

We are looking forward to seeing the finished photos come together and, in time, sharing the new website with you.

Why do financial planners and other professional advisers refer clients to PRP?

As Corey explains in this video, many of the professionals who refer clients to us are qualified to provide life insurance advice themselves. But life insurance is a specialist area, and it’s not always something they have the time, systems or expertise to focus on.

Our referral partners include financial planners, finance brokers, accountants and lawyers who understand how important protecting their clients is, but recognise the value of working with a specialist.

That’s where PRP comes in.

We work alongside professional advisers to look after the life insurance side of things, providing specialist advice while keeping the referring adviser at the centre of the client relationship.

It’s about working together and making sure clients receive the right level of expertise when it comes to protecting themselves, their families and their businesses.

Have a listen to Corey explain why so many professionals choose to refer their clients to PRP.
