Tuto

What Tuto does

Tuto Money Limited (operating as 'Tuto') is a UK-based, FCA-authorised financial advisory firm specialising in protection and insurance products. Headquartered operationally in Peterborough (Cambridgeshire) with its registered office in Stamford (Lincolnshire), the firm advises individual consumers, SME owners/limited company directors, and high net worth clients on life insurance (term and whole-of-life), Over 50s life cover, critical illness and income protection, general insurance (home/contents/tenants), and inheritance tax planning using protection policies written in trust.

The company's product portfolio is delivered through a traditional advisory model rather than a proprietary technology platform. Core offerings include the Over 50's Fixed Life Insurance (guaranteed acceptance, premiums from £10/month), Relevant Life Insurance for SME directors, and a specialist IHT/trusts service led by Stephen Hunt (45+ years' experience). Distribution is sales-led: customers reach the firm via website, phone, and email, with advice delivered by in-house advisors and a network of Appointed Representatives operating under Tuto's FCA authorisation. Professional referrals from accountants and solicitors supplement the direct channel for HNW estate planning work.

Tuto generates revenue on a professional services / commission basis, earning commissions from insurance providers for policies placed on behalf of clients. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed for most products. The firm employs 11-50 people and has been operating alongside UK protection providers for over 30 years. On 9 March 2026 the firm voluntarily entered FCA-imposed restrictions that bar new trading name registrations, mandate removal of existing trading names, and prohibit onboarding of new Appointed Representatives without regulatory consent — a material constraint on the AR-led distribution model.

Direct peers

• Reassured: UK specialist in life insurance, over-50s cover, and funeral plans distributed via a direct/online advice model. Comparable because it sells many of the same protection products as Tuto (term life, over 50s, critical illness) to a similar UK consumer base, though with a more digital-led GTM.
• Assured Futures: UK protection specialist focusing on life insurance, critical illness, income protection, and business protection. Comparable as a niche protection advisory serving both consumer and SME markets, similar in size and positioning to Tuto.
• Drewberry Insurance: UK-based protection and employee benefits advisory firm offering life insurance, income protection, critical illness, and IHT planning through a similar advice-led model. Directly comparable in product mix, target segments (individuals, SMEs, HNW), and FCA-authorised intermediary status.
• Cavendish Online: UK life insurance and protection broker providing term, whole of life, critical illness, and income protection quotes and advice. Comparable as a UK-domiciled protection intermediary serving individual consumers and SMEs with a multi-carrier panel.
• The Insurance Surgery: UK life insurance and protection broker offering term life, whole of life, critical illness, and income protection with an advice-led model. Directly comparable as a UK-domiciled intermediary competing for the same consumer protection customers.
• LifeSearch: UK life insurance and protection broker offering term, whole of life, critical illness, and income protection through an advice-led model. Direct peer given its overlapping product set, focus on UK consumers and SMEs, and intermediary (not carrier) model.
• Premier Choice Group: UK insurance and employee benefits intermediary offering life cover, group life, relevant life, and IHT-related solutions to individuals and SMEs. Comparable in product range and target customer segments, particularly the SME/employer-sponsored life and benefits segment.

Broad incumbents

• Direct Line Group: Major UK general insurance provider (home, contents, motor) sold direct and through intermediaries. Comparable in the general insurance/home and contents portion of Tuto's product shelf, but as a much larger, vertically integrated carrier.
• Vitality: UK life and health insurer that also distributes protection products (life, serious illness, income protection) directly and through advisers. Comparable in the product set it offers end customers, though it is a carrier rather than a pure intermediary.
• Aon (UK): Global insurance broker and risk adviser with a significant UK presence in life, health, and protection for individuals and corporate clients. Comparable as a regulated intermediary in the same product categories (Relevant Life, Key Person, group life), but operating at vastly greater scale and breadth.
