A Solution for Life's Challenges, Inspired by Loss
Lyfeguard was born from a deep understanding of two significant challenges facing individuals and families in the UK: the overwhelming burden of life admin and the widespread lack of end-of-life planning.
The Crushing Weight of Life Admin
Modern life is inundated with administrative tasks. From managing finances and bills to locating documents and scheduling appointments, these mundane yet essential activities consume a significant portion of our time and energy. Research reveals that the average person spends over five years of their life grappling with these tasks, leading to stress, missed opportunities, and financial repercussions.
Consider the staggering ￡720 million lost by UK consumers in 2020 due to inaction in switching car insurance, or the ￡50 billion in unclaimed assets languishing in forgotten accounts. These figures highlight the hidden costs of neglecting life admin, not to mention the toll it takes on our well-being and relationships.
Lyfeguard provides a comprehensive solution by centralising personal information, offering easy access on the go, setting timely reminders, and providing visual insights into finances. We also partner with various service providers to offer exclusive discounts, making essential life services more accessible and affordable.
The Unspoken Reality of End-of-Life Planning
Death remains a taboo subject in the UK, hindering open conversations and proactive planning. This reluctance to confront mortality has far-reaching consequences, with a majority of individuals lacking wills or financial provisions for their funerals.
The absence of end-of-life planning creates immense difficulties for loved ones left behind. The emotional burden of grief is compounded by the complexities of navigating legal and financial matters, often without access to crucial information. This can lead to prolonged processes, missed assets, and even family disputes.
Lyfeguard's co-founder, Gary Stewart, experienced this firsthand when a close friend passed away. The overwhelming task of settling the estate, made more difficult by the lack of readily available information, ignited the spark for Lyfeguard.
Our platform empowers individuals to take control of their end-of-life arrangements. By securely storing and sharing essential information with trusted individuals, Lyfeguard ensures that wishes are known and logistical burdens are minimised, allowing families to focus on healing and remembrance.
Organise Today, Secure Tomorrow
Lyfeguard is more than just a platform; it's a life assistant designed to empower individuals and families to navigate life's complexities with confidence and peace of mind. By addressing the often-overlooked aspects of life admin and end-of-life planning, we strive to make life simpler, more organised, and ultimately, more meaningful.
Our mission is to foster a proactive approach to life planning, one that acknowledges the inevitable while celebrating the present. We believe that by equipping individuals with the tools and knowledge they need, we can alleviate unnecessary burdens and create a lasting legacy for generations to come.
