Next Steps

Health Insurance Franchise

WPA provide health insurance to individuals and to a wide range of companies across the UK. Embodying ethical values in healthcare, WPA work with passion and imagination to create affordable health insurance products designed to meet the needs of our member

With a well-established network of Healthcare Partners across the UK, WPA know how to support the people who buy into their business. Operating within a proven model reduces the level of risk while giving you the flexibility to build a long-term, sustainable business.

What does a Healthcare Partner do? 

Healthcare Partners work to grow a portfolio of customers by selling and advising on WPA health insurance products. To do there are a range of means including networking, introducers, referrals and cold calling. Partners can only actively market WPA within their allocated territory, however they are permitted to gain referrals and introductions from connections outside of their area. 

How much can you earn?

In your first year it is reasonable to expect earnings of £50,000.

Partners receive initial commission (example 60%*) when a new sale is completed and a customer joins WPA. Partners then receive renewal commission (example 10%**) at the customer’s annual renewal. 

Partners are expected to actively contact their customers at renewal ensuring that the policy still meets their needs. Healthcare Partners can also qualify for a Quarterly Incentive Bonus based on total premium increase of their portfolio.

Guaranteed Fee Scheme

Those buying a vacant territory (no existing client base), will qualify for the ‘Guaranteed Fee Scheme’ which assists financially in the difficult first two years of the insurance business. WPA will pay you £22,000 in year 1 (12 equal monthly instalments) and a lesser amount of £11,000 in year 2 (12 equal monthly instalments) when your pipeline of business has started to grow and you begin to receive renewal commission.

What Our Franchisees Say

Attending the open day at Head Office was extremely useful and helped reassure me that I was perusing a good opportunity. It allowed me to learn more about WPA, meet a number of staff and experience the culture and transparency of the organisation. It certainly played a crucial role in my decision making process about becoming a Healthcare Partner.


Attending an Open Day and seeing the slick and technologically advanced operation behind the scene convinced me I was making the right choice. By the time I left the Open Day, I had made up my mind that WPA was a company which lived the business values that matched my own.


My advice for anyone looking to become a Healthcare Partner is just do it! If there is a practice available near you then absolutely go for it. The training, the support, the help, the advice - it’s been the best decision that I’ve made.
