Types of Life Insurance—and Why EPIA Is the Partner You Need

When it comes to protecting your future, few things are as important as having the right life insurance. But with so many different types—and so much confusing jargon—how do you know which one actually fits your goals?

At EPIA, we believe education is power. Here’s a simple guide to the most popular types of life insurance, plus how our team can help you (and your employees) make the smartest choice.

The Main Types of Life Insurance

1. Term Life Insurance

• What it is: Coverage for a set period—like 10, 20, or 30 years. If the insured passes away during the term, their beneficiaries receive a payout.

• Best for: People who want affordable, straightforward protection for a specific time—like paying off a mortgage, raising kids, or covering business loans.

2. Whole Life Insurance

• What it is: Permanent coverage that lasts your entire life, with a guaranteed payout and cash value that grows over time.

• Best for: Those looking for lifelong security and a way to build wealth for the future.

3. Universal Life Insurance

• What it is: Flexible permanent coverage that lets you adjust your premiums and death benefit as your needs change, with cash value accumulation.

• Best for: People who want flexibility as their finances or family situations evolve.

4. Indexed Universal Life (IUL)

• What it is: A form of universal life insurance where the cash value is linked to a stock market index, offering growth potential with protection against market losses.

• Best for: Savvy planners seeking both protection and investment growth.

5. Group & Voluntary Life Insurance

• What it is: Often offered by employers, group life provides basic coverage for all employees, while voluntary options let individuals buy extra protection—often at discounted rates.

• Best for: Business owners wanting to attract and retain top talent, and employees seeking additional coverage at a good value.

Which Type Is Right for You?

Consider your stage of life, family or business needs, and budget.

Are you looking for affordable, short-term protection? (Term)

Want to leave a legacy or build cash value? (Whole or Universal)

Need flexible coverage that can adapt as you grow? (Universal or IUL)

Want a simple way to support your team? (Group Life)

The “right” policy isn’t one-size-fits-all—and your needs may change as your business and family grow.
