Cayo Lima has been a licensed insurance professional since 2021, helping individuals and families protect their financial future. He works across Medicare, health insurance, life insurance, annuities, and indexed universal life. Families sit down with him in English or Portuguese, whichever feels like home.

IUL is the craft.

Cayo specializes in indexed universal life planning. He builds each strategy around what the family wants the money to do: accumulate value over time, open up options for retirement income, and leave a legacy for the people they love. More than 100 families hold active IUL policies he helped them set up and keep in force. Active is the part he is proudest of. A policy only does its job if it stays in place.

He teaches before he recommends.

Cayo is committed to educating his clients. He walks a family through how a policy works, what it costs, and what it is built to do, so they can make informed decisions with confidence. Every plan is tailored to the client’s goals. He earned his reputation one personalized plan at a time, and he intends to keep it that way.

I want every client to understand their plan as well as I do. That is where confident decisions come from.

He builds agents too.

Cayo leads a growing team at Checkmate, dedicated to developing and mentoring the next generation of agents. The bar he sets for them is the same one he holds himself: know the products cold, explain them plainly, and put the family’s goals first.

Built from the ground up.

Cayo is a proud father who took the entrepreneurial path, with all the risk, perseverance, and hard work that building a business from nothing demands. That experience shapes how he serves people. He wants the families who work with him to have financial security, protected loved ones, and the freedom to pursue long-term financial independence.

The reputation

What he is known for

Teaching. Cayo breaks a policy down until it is plain, answers the questions a family did not know to ask, and shapes the plan around their goals. It is why his clients’ policies stay active year after year, and it is the standard he passes to every agent he mentors.
