History
stayALIVEbenefits.com is the brainchild of its founder, Julian Pasley-Smith. Julian has his PA Life and Health Insurance license and is also able to transact business in other states on an as needed basis. His vision is to provide everyone, be they individuals, families, groups or corporations, with the information they need to make informed decisions regarding protecting themselves financially while still alive, and at the same time ensuring that the financial needs of future generations are met as well.
Philosophy
stayALIVEbenefits.com aims to provide you with one-stop shopping for all your financial needs. Our relationships that we have built up mean that we have access to an extensive network of financial professionals and companies, each one of them an expert in their own particular field. This allows us to offer services for both individuals and families as well as groups and corporations. These services range from standard term life insurance all the way through to assistance obtaining mortgages and innovative alternative investment strategies.
stayALIVEbenefits.com is an independent company and is not tied to any one insurance company and their products. This allows us to offer the best fit option for our clients based on what is available in the marketplace today, not based upon a limited subset of products that an affiliation with one company typically demands.
