Key Person Insurance

In every business, there are key individuals whose knowledge, skills, and experience directly contribute to its success. These individuals—whether directors, team leaders, or specialists—are indispensable to maintaining profits and operations. Identifying and protecting these key people is essential to securing the future of your business.

If a key person were to pass away or face a serious illness, the impact on your business could be significant:

Client relationships at risk: Clients may lose confidence if their trusted point of contact is no longer available.

Investor concerns: Investors could withdraw support or call in loans early due to uncertainty.

Profitability challenges: Loss of expertise can lead to decreased revenue and operational inefficiencies.

Recruitment costs: Finding a suitable replacement with equivalent skills is costly and time-consuming.

A Key Person Protection Plan ensures your business remains financially stable and operationally sound, no matter what happens.

Shareholder Protection

For companies with multiple shareholders, not having a shareholder protection plan in place can lead to unexpected challenges.

If a shareholder passes away or becomes critically ill, their shares typically transfer to their next-of-kin. This can lead to:

Unqualified ownership: The new shareholder may lack the expertise, interest, or commitment to the business.

Potential third-party involvement: Without funds to buy back the shares, they could be sold to someone outside the company, potentially disrupting operations or misaligning goals.

Shareholder Protection Insurance provides a simple and effective solution:

Each shareholder is insured for the value of their shares, with regular reviews to keep valuations up to date.

In the event of death or critical illness, the insurance payout allows the company to buy back the shares, ensuring they remain within trusted hands.

Employee Benefits & Employee Salary Protection

In today’s competitive job market, salary is no longer the sole factor that attracts employees to a company. More and more, employees are seeking additional benefits that offer security and peace of mind for themselves and their families. Offering employee benefits such as life insurance and sick pay schemes can make a significant difference in both attracting top talent and fostering loyalty within your team.

We can help you arrange tax-efficient life insurance for your employees and their families, as well as for company directors of limited companies, ensuring that they are well protected.

If you’re looking to provide sick pay for your key employees, we can also explore options for Executive Income Protection. This policy ensures that if an employee is unable to work due to illness or injury, the company receives their monthly salary, allowing you to continue supporting them financially while they recover.

Let us help you tailor benefits that will add real value for your team.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Your articles of association is a great place to start as this will confirm the share value and how shares are split between shareholders. We will work with you to implement the appropriate level of protection.

The amount of cover needed really depends on the reason behind the policy. If the coverage is for protecting a loan, the sum assured can be set to match the remaining loan balance. On the other hand, if it’s for covering potential loss of profits, we can calculate the sum based on projected lost profits per year. Additionally, the sum assured can be adjusted to include the estimated costs of hiring a replacement for a key person.

We’ll work closely with you to ensure the level of protection aligns with your business’s specific needs, providing you with the right coverage to protect your business.

A legal document called a cross-option agreement is implemented at the start of the policy. If one party enacts the cross-option, both parties have the comply and the transfer of policy proceeds for the shares must legally take place.

Tax efficiency can be a bit tricky when it comes to premiums and sums assured, as there are specific rules about which policies may qualify for tax relief or deductions. While we can offer general guidance on this for each product, we always work closely with your accountant to make sure the policies are arranged in the most efficient way for your business.

That said, the primary goal of these policies is to protect your business in the event of death or critical illness. While tax considerations are important, they shouldn’t be the main reason for obtaining these plans. Our focus is to ensure the policies give you the coverage and peace of mind you need, while also being mindful of any tax implications.
