Willi Olsen
CEO & Founder

Hi, I’m Willi Olsen, the insurance specialist helping secure people’s incomes.

Design, build and protect

With us, it all starts with a conversation about what is important to you because there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to financial protection.

So instead, we will together explore solutions and suggestions that fit your needs and budget. 

I don’t recommend insurance for the sake of it and try to sell you something you don’t need.

About LifeCovered

LifeCovered is a boutique digital life and health insurance brokerage helping families, self-employed and business owners protect what matters most. And we uncomplicate the complicated.

WHO IS WILLI

How it all started

I’m Willi Olsen, and I’m the founder of LifeCovered, based in Hamilton, Waikato and helping clients across New Zealand. My financial services background is from banking and insurance in Scandinavia.

One of the best decisions I made was getting married in 1999. We started a life together, and our first child was born in 2001. 

While pregnant with our second child, my wife suffered a rare neurological condition. At the same time, I started working in life insurance and understood the need for financial protection. 

Unfortunately, we didn’t have financial protection in place, and this is why I do what I do, so you don’t have to suffer as we did. 

WHAT WE OFFER

We compare New Zealands Leading Health & Life Insurance Companies

Shortly after moving to New Zealand, I started looking into insurance to protect my family financially if I died or became unable to work.

But it was confusing and stressful with all the insurance jargon and paper forms (like going back in time).

And with the lack of transparency, I started to worry about fish hooks because maybe I might have missed something. Why is buying insurance so hard?

Since then, I’ve helped countless ordinary Kiwi families get protected.

ACCREDITATION

Our strategic partners

We work with New Zealand’s top insurance providers to find you great deals.

As of 28 February 2022, we are accredited with the following New Zealand Insurers and do annual product training to keep the accreditation.

LICENSE

Our Registration

We are registered with and regulated by the Financial Markets Authority, Financial Service Provider number 675171. 

HOW WE MAKE MONEY

Can I trust the advice you provide?

Our suggestions and recommendation are based on your needs and budget and are not affected by any commissions we receive from insurance providers.

We are impartial.

LifeCovered is paid a commission for policies we sell for an insurance company as a company. Not to worry, because the commission is already built into the price of all insurance policies.

The revenue pays salaries, rent, expenses and taxes.

We do not have any performance quotas with insurance companies or product providers.
