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

Business protection can prevent this problem. A life policy which the company owns is put on each director in case of death.

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.
