Why Choose Special Risk Life Insurance?

✅ Truly Independent Guidance

We don’t work for one company. We shop your case across 25+ trusted insurers — from household names to high-risk specialists — to find you the best value, terms, and flexibility.

✅ All Policy Types Available

We help clients compare and apply for a wide range of life insurance plans:

We work with clients aged 25–85+, healthy or managing serious medical conditions.

✅ Solutions for High-Risk Applicants

Have you been declined elsewhere? We specialize in hard-to-place life insurance, including clients with:

  • Diabetes, heart conditions, or cancer history
  • DUI or hazardous occupation
  • Other high-risk factors

We know which companies say “yes” when others say “no.”

✅ Local, Personal Service

We’re a service-based business, not a walk-in storefront. That means we meet clients at coffee shops, libraries, your home, or virtually by phone or Zoom.


Life Insurance Tailored to Your Needs

We take the time to learn about your:

  • Current financial situation
  • Family or business coverage needs
  • Existing policies
  • Health, medications, and lifestyle
  • Budget and long-term goals

Insurance should fit your life, not force you into a plan that isn’t right for your circumstances.
