Why Needs Analysis Matters
Protection Shortfall
61% of Americans have life insurance coverage that falls at least $200,000 short of their actual needs. Without a proper needs analysis, most people significantly underestimate their coverage requirements. Our comprehensive assessment identifies these gaps and provides specific recommendations to ensure adequate protection for your loved ones and financial obligations.
Disability Probability
1 in 4 working adults will experience a disability before retirement age, yet most income protection strategies are insufficient or nonexistent. A thorough needs analysis evaluates this often-overlooked risk and identifies appropriate solutions to protect your income stream and financial security during potential periods of disability.
Businesses Without Plans
78% of business owners have no formal transition plan, putting their business value and family financial security at significant risk. Our business needs analysis identifies these crucial gaps and helps establish formal continuation strategies to protect what you've built and ensure your business legacy survives regardless of circumstances.
Greater Financial Security
Individuals who undergo a comprehensive needs analysis report 36% greater confidence in their financial security. This process provides clarity about your current situation and future trajectory, allowing you to make informed decisions rather than guesswork. Our structured analysis helps eliminate uncertainty and creates a clear roadmap for your financial future.
These statistics highlight the importance of a thorough needs analysis before implementing any financial protection strategy. Understanding your specific situation allows for personalized solutions rather than generic approaches that may leave significant gaps in your protection. Our professional assessment helps create clarity and confidence in your financial future.
What to Expect During Your Needs Analysis
Your needs analysis begins with our online Protection Gap Assessment—a user-friendly questionnaire that takes just 5-8 minutes to complete. This assessment helps us understand your current situation, financial objectives, and potential protection vulnerabilities before we meet.
After completing the assessment, you'll receive an immediate preliminary report highlighting key areas of consideration. This gives you valuable insights right away, helping you understand potential gaps in your protection strategy.
The next step is a focused consultation with one of our licensed professionals. Because you've already completed the initial assessment, this meeting is much more efficient and valuable—we'll spend our time discussing specific solutions tailored to your situation rather than gathering basic information.
During this 30-minute consultation, we'll review your Protection Gap Assessment, answer your questions, and explore appropriate strategies to address any vulnerabilities. There's no pressure or obligation—our focus is on providing clarity and guidance that helps you make informed decisions about your financial security.
After the consultation, you'll receive a comprehensive protection recommendation that gives you a clear roadmap forward. You'll gain valuable insights regardless of whether you choose to implement recommendations through us.

Frequently Asked Questions
about life insurance
College funding involves balancing educational goals with other financial priorities. Here are answers to the questions parents ask most frequently about preparing for their children's higher education expenses.
Question 1: What exactly is a financial needs analysis?
Our financial needs analysis is a structured assessment of your current financial protection strategy compared to your actual needs. It begins with our online Protection Gap Assessment that gathers information about your income, expenses, assets, liabilities, existing coverage, family situation, and business interests if applicable. We then analyze this information using specialized calculators and assessment tools to identify gaps between your current protection and actual needs. This foundational step ensures any recommendations we make are based on your unique circumstances rather than generic assumptions.
Question 2: How long does the Protection Gap Assessment take to complete?
Our online Protection Gap Assessment typically takes 5-8 minutes to complete. We've designed it to be thorough while respecting your time. The follow-up consultation with one of our licensed professionals usually takes about 30 minutes, during which we'll review your assessment results, answer questions, and discuss potential solutions tailored to your specific situation. This two-step approach makes the entire process more efficient and valuable for you.
Question 3: Is there a cost for the needs analysis service?
We provide our comprehensive needs analysis at no cost or obligation. This includes both the online Protection Gap Assessment and the follow-up consultation with one of our licensed professionals. We believe this foundational step is essential before making any product recommendations, as it allows us to truly understand your situation and ensure any solutions we suggest are appropriate for your specific needs. After completing the analysis, we present our findings and recommendations, but you're under no obligation to implement them through us.
Question 4: How is the information I provide protected?
We take the security and privacy of your information very seriously. All data submitted through our Protection Gap Assessment is encrypted and stored securely in compliance with industry standards. We never sell your information to third parties. Our privacy policy details exactly how your information is used and protected. As licensed financial professionals, we adhere to strict regulatory requirements regarding client information confidentiality.
Question 5: What information should I have ready for the assessment?
To make your Protection Gap Assessment most productive, it helps to have basic information about your current financial picture, including: approximate household income; outstanding debts (mortgage, loans, credit cards); existing insurance policies and coverage amounts; retirement account values; business information if applicable; and general family information. Don't worry if you don't have exact figures—estimates are sufficient for our initial analysis. The assessment is designed to be completed without requiring you to gather extensive documentation.
Question 6: How often should I update my needs analysis?
We recommend reviewing your needs analysis after any significant life change including marriage, divorce, birth of children, home purchase, career changes, business transactions, or substantial income fluctuations. Even without major changes, a review every 2-3 years is advisable as financial needs evolve naturally over time. Regular reassessment ensures your protection strategy remains aligned with your current situation rather than past circumstances. Our clients who maintain regular reviews report greater confidence in their financial strategy and typically avoid significant protection gaps that can develop gradually over time.
