Serious Illness Can Hit Your Finances as Hard as Your Health

We all hope it never happens — but a serious diagnosis can change everything overnight.

You worry about how you’d keep up with your mortgage or rent.

You’re unsure what support you’d get from work or the state.

You don’t want your family to struggle while you’re unwell.

You’re confused by different types of illness cover.

Without clear advice, it’s easy to either do nothing or take out a policy that doesn’t really match your needs.

I help people all across the UK understand and arrange serious illness cover that fits around their real life — not a one-size-fits-all template.

We’ll talk about your income, commitments, and support network, then work out how a payout could help you if you became seriously ill, so you can make a calm, informed decision.

"Abigail at MAP has been absolutely brilliant! We used her when we bought our first property and again for the remortgage and I cannot recommend her enough. She was so thorough with her advice, making me feel at ease with all options presented to me before making my decision. She also helped me with my insurances which she made so easy for me to understand. Abigail went above and beyond to help chase solicitors and lenders to ensure the original purchase and remortgage went through quickly without an issue. Thank you Abigail!"
