Running a business can be a hugely rewarding but challenging experience, and unforeseen events can cause disruption, or even put the stability of a business at risk.

Whilst no one can predict the future, Business Protection is there to help your company continue to thrive in the unfortunate event of a key employee, business owner or director suddenly becoming critically ill or passing away.

A key person is any member of staff who has a direct impact on the business’s profits. They could be a business owner, director or any employee with specialist skills. Key Person cover is life insurance taken out by a business on the life of a crucial person in the business. The policy is paid directly to the company or partners.

Business protection is available to all kinds of business structures and can also be used to ensure repayment of a business debt in the event of death or critical illness of an owner, director, partner, key person or sole trader.
