Rehabilitation Support Service- It gives your clients access to our in-house team of specialist healthcare professionals, who’ll support their quicker return to health and work.

Fracture Cover- If your clients have an accident and sustain one of the 30 specified injuries, they can make a claim to receive a cash sum. The pay-out could help meet some of the extra bills associated with the injury.

Care Concierge - A free service which gives your clients access to a confidential telephone advisory service to help them understand, find and fund later life care most suitable to their needs.

Personal professional development is a must for every successful adviser. Not only does the FCA insist on at least 35 hours of CPD a year for those advisers in the retail market, but it makes sense to stay current, so you can give your clients the best service possible.

We offer regular live webinars throughout the year. All we need is your name, email address and Legal & General agency number. Select the day that suits you best and follow the instructions.

How to Register

If you are setting up agencies for the first time with providers

Please complete an origo application. All agencies will be required to complete an on-boarding process including financial checks, FCA checks, validation checks etc. and they will require signed personal director guarantees. Please note that a commission withhold facility will be put into place when a DA firms unearned indemnity commission (UIC) amount reaches £75k. This is to help build up a cash reserve to help offset any potential debts if the firm suddenly ceased trading. More information can be provided on how this scheme works.

If you are an adviser to a firm that already has agencies

You can contact L&G's registrations team via [email protected] or call their team on 0370 0500 274 option 2, you will need to have their agency number to hand. An adviser can also register for OLPC access online by clicking here. This usually requires a directors email address being entered to approve the OLPC request (security check to confirm the person works for the firm)

If you have applied for an agency and need to be setup on a provider’s online system

Full instructions and links sent via email with the agency confirmation.
