Financial Needs Analysis
When you buy insurance, an advisor may help you decide how much insurance you need by completing a financial needs analysis.
This looks at your unique current financial and personal situation and goals to help calculate how much insurance you need.
It will often include things like taking care of dependents and paying off debt.
This process is most frequently used for calculating life insurance needs, but can be used for other forms of insurance as well and is a good best practice for insurance advisors.
