No solution is perfect: we choose to set ourselves apart by being transparent about any less advantageous aspects

Therefore, you will not be able to:

• Set up a pension fund systematically open to all employees, which often only benefits a minority
• Obtain retirement pensions
• In the event of a change in health status, be guaranteed higher than existing death and disability coverage, or death and disability coverage recalculated to your advantage
• Take full advantage of the potential of a customised solution, designed outside standard parameters, without devoting a minimum amount of time or interest to it
• Access the comprehensive insurance system that certain insurers are able to offer

If any of the above situations apply to you, we will be happy to recommend alternatives, even if this means referring you to a competitor.
