Dubai, Feb 15: Kanara Entrepreneurs Ltd. (KEL) are pleased to announce their next session – ‘Protection for Expats thru proper Insurance’ open to all interested in understanding the importance of protection against debts and liabilities in the untimely event of disability or death. The focus of this seminar is to educate ways and means by which an expatriate can ensure that the burden of the debts and liabilities that one has incurred in the form of either personal loans, credit card dues, mortgages or even business loans, are settled through his Insurance and not passed on to one’s immediate family in the event of one’s untimely death or disability.
While there are several insurance companies in the market today that are eager to sell their products, very rarely does one come across a good Independent Financial Advisor who will take the time to understand one’s current financial status and lifestyle, and then recommend the right insurance solution tailored to address one’s specific needs and requirements.
Although insurance awareness has increased significantly over the last few years, there are still a large number of expatriates who are as yet ‘unprotected’, and consider insurance to be simply “another cost”. As a result, when disaster strikes in the form of an unforeseen disability or worse, an ‘untimely death’, these same people end up adding to their families’ burden, by leaving them with huge debts and liabilities, and no easy means to pay them off - a situation that could easily be avoided by putting in place an appropriate insurance policy.
