Aviva Highlights New SME Support Tools and Group Protection Updates

Aviva Launches New SME-Focused Resources

Aviva has released the latest edition of its SME newsletter, aimed at supporting advisers working with smaller business clients. The update features a new series of bite-size videos presented by Hamish Ward, SME Broker Development Specialist at Aviva, designed to provide practical tips and insights for more effective SME client conversations. The first three videos are now available, with additional content planned for the future.

Flexible Group Income Protection Options

The newsletter also details how Group Income Protection can be tailored for SME clients, offering a range of deferred periods and limited payment terms to help balance employee support with cost control. Aviva highlights the availability of early intervention, rehabilitation, and wellbeing services, although these are non-contractual benefits and may be changed or withdrawn at any time.

Reduced Group Life Rates

Aviva has recently reduced its Group Life rates, potentially making cover more accessible for SME businesses. Advisers are encouraged to review current rates and consider quoting for clients who may benefit from the changes via Aviva Fusion.

Professional Development Opportunities

This autumn, Aviva is offering its 'Income Protection in Action' series, which includes real-world stories, case studies, and expert commentary to help advisers strengthen their protection conversations. The Aviva Adviser Webinar Hub remains available as a resource for ongoing professional development.

For further details, advisers are encouraged to contact their usual Aviva representative or visit the Aviva Adviser Webinar Hub.
