After undergoing a thorough fact-finding exercise, our consultants can then determine your business protection needs accurately and the levels required.
We have four main areas within business protection, as stated below.
Key Person Cover
Much like how a business insures their premises and stock, it is also essential to have some level of protection for critical people within the company. Key individuals are vital to the future success of any business.
Key person cover protects your business against the financial implications of losing a key member of staff.
Business Loan Protection
The majority of businesses have some sort kind of commercial debt – it could be in the form of a mortgage, overdrafts, or loans.
Business loan protection allows business owners, partners, or directors to insure against any outstanding liabilities should the worst happen to a business owner, partner, or key person within the business.
Shareholder Protection
This is for businesses that have been set up in such a way that partners and/or directors have shares within the company.
The main purpose of shareholder protection is to help the company buy back shares, in case of something happening to a shareholder, subsequently ensuring they are kept within the business and not externally purchased by someone.
Partnership Protection
Partnership protection gives partners in a business the reassurance that if something was to happen to one of the partners which left them unable to work in the business anymore, the remaining partners would be able to purchase their share of the company without having to sell personal or business assets to find the funds.
This policy also ensures that the affected partner’s beneficiaries are financially compensated and avoids their share of the business falling into the hands of an inheritor with little or no interest in the business.
