Business Protection

Business Protection Overview

Business Protection is essential for safeguarding a company’s financial stability in the event of unexpected shocks or events. It ensures the continuity and security of the business by mitigating risks associated with the loss or incapacity of critical personnel or changes in business ownership.

Key Person Insurance

Key Person Insurance is a life insurance policy taken out by a business on the life of an essential employee. This type of insurance provides a financial safety net for the company in case the Key Person, whose expertise and contributions are crucial to the business, passes away or becomes critically ill. The payout can be used to cover the costs of recruiting and training a replacement, compensating for lost profits, or managing debts.

Shareholder Protection Insurance

Shareholder Protection Insurance helps ensure business continuity in the event of the death or critical illness of a shareholder. It provides the remaining shareholders with the funds needed to buy out the deceased or critically ill shareholder's stake in the business. This type of insurance helps maintain stability and control within the company, preventing external parties from gaining an unwanted stake in the business.

Partnership Protection Insurance

Similar to Shareholder Protection, Partnership Protection Insurance ensures that, in the event of a partner’s death or critical illness, the remaining partners have the necessary funds to purchase the departing partner's share of the business. This type of insurance helps to preserve the continuity and ownership structure of the partnership.

Business Loan Protection

Business Loan Protection is designed to cover outstanding business debts in the event that an owner or key individual passes away or becomes critically ill. This insurance provides the necessary funds to repay loans, preventing the burden of debt from falling on the remaining business partners or owners, and ensuring the company's financial obligations are met without compromising its operational stability.

Relevant Life Insurance

Relevant Life Insurance is a tax-efficient life insurance policy for employees, including directors. This policy is paid for by the business and can provide a death-in-service benefit to the employee’s family. It's particularly beneficial for small businesses that do not have enough employees to warrant a group life scheme.
