The move will enable Positive Solutions advisers to use the portal to compare costs of different benefits on a range of cover as a single benefit or part of a menu plan.
Andy Bell, mortgage and general insurance manager at Positive Solutions, said: “It is about the whole piece and reminding advisers of the opportunities. We are trying to make it as easy as possible to write protection business.
“Certainly mortgage advisers might look at the basic term assurance but because there is so much else going on with the mortgage application suggest that further protection needs are revisited but never get round to it. This is about helping them to understand the whole piece.”
He added in terms of protection as an additional income stream the picture was split, with some advisers doing it and some not.
According to LifeQuote, a barrier for advisers writing more protection business was often the time quotation research demanded.
It added protection was increasingly being looked at by advisers as they made the RDR transition.
