Business Protection Plans

We work with businesses and business owners to choose protection & insurance that will provide peace of mind in the future.

Assure

Shareholder / Co-Director Protection

If a co-director or shareholder were to die, their share passes to their respective spouse. This can be problematic for the spouse and for the surviving director. Business protection can prevent this problem. A life policy which the company owns is put on each director in case of death. This life policy is used to buy back the deceased director’s share of the business. The spouse is financially compensated and the surviving director / shareholder / partner retains control of the business

Protect

Partnership Insurance

If a partner were to die, their share would most likely pass to their respective spouse. This can be problematic for the spouse and for the surviving director. Business protection can prevent this problem. A life policy which the company owns is put on each director in case of death. This life policy is used to buy back the deceased director’s share of the business.

Keyperson Insurance

The business can insure a keyperson by putting a life or specified serious illness policy on them to protect the business if something happens to a key human asset. This keyperson may be guarantor on loans or their loss may cause a considerable loss to the company. Insure your key assets including your human ones.

Attract

Group Life Cover

If you’re a business owner, why not provide death in service benefits for your employees? This can be a very uncostly way of retaining key employees and making positions within your business more attractive. We can facilitate this process with just a list of employees. Also if you’re a director and are uninsurable this can be a way to get life cover.
