Small to medium-sized businesses often rely on one or two key people to carry the business. So what happens when one of those people can’t do their job any more? Key person insurance provides a lump sum payment to your business if a key employee dies or can’t work due to disability. This payment can cover costs associated with finding and training a replacement, lost revenue, or other expenses related to the impact of their absence on the business.
Another way to protect the business if a co-owner dies or is unable to work. Buy & sell cover (also known as buyout insurance) pays a lump sum to the remaining co-owners, so they can buy out the shares of the deceased or disabled owner. This means remaining owners retain full control of the business, and it operates without interruption.
Group policies cover a group of individuals who share a common bond. This is a cost-effective way for employers and organisations to provide benefits to their members or employees. Group policies can include life insurance, health insurance and disability insurance, making it easier for people who might not qualify for other insurance coverage to receive valuable benefits.
