WHAT IS KEY MAN INSURANCE?

A specific cover that helps support a business should anything happen to any key persons in the company. If a business’ most valuable employees suddenly passed away or became terminally ill, the policy works by protecting the business against any financial impacts.

Money is paid to the business to help cover costs for replacing staff, covering profit losses and any other financial implications as a result of suddenly losing a key person in the company who is a key income generator. This can often make a huge difference to the survival and success of a business.

WHAT DOES KEY MAN INSURANCE COVER?

It covers businesses who lose a vital member of staff or Director suddenly due to death, critical or terminal illness. Policies provide cover to businesses by paying out a lump sum of money to help cover profit losses, loan repayments or recruitment.

Losing a key person suddenly can mean the difference between a business surviving or not and Key Man Insurance works to provide business protection to help against potential profit losses and other unavoidable financial losses.

Key Man Insurance isn’t a legal requirement, but is considered a strongly recommended insurance policy for business protection.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR KEY MAN INSURANCE?

Anyone is who is deemed essential to the financial success of a business. This can also include those who might generate a large amount of income for the business, as well as those who have a very specialist or niche skill or expertise.

If any of these people died, suffered a life-changing injury or became critically ill, meaning they could no longer work, a business could experience a significant financial impact.

Their absence could mean that a loan repayment can’t be made, a significant project can’t proceed, or substantial number of customers are lost.

If you have any people in your business who this would apply to, then you should consider Key Man Insurance.
