Business protection is the use of life insurance for those self-employed and critical illness policies to help business owners plan for the financial fall out of the death or illness of them or a fellow business partner.
From experience, we know that every single business is likely to have at least one business protection need.

The proceeds go directly to the employee’s family or financial dependants.
Benefits to the business:
✓ Available to businesses and companies which are too small to set up a group life scheme. Can help small businesses to attract and retain high calibre staff.
✓ Corporation Tax Relief (so long as the premiums are wholly and exclusively for the purposes of the business)
✓ No National Insurance contributions to pay on the policy payments paid to fund the Relevant Life policy.
3-Shareholder Protection
Have you considered what would happen to the shares of a shareholder if something unexpected happened?
If one of your shareholders dies or is suffering from a severe illness, their shares will usually pass to their beneficiaries. To regain full control of the business, the surviving shareholders will need to buy the shares back. But they might not have the available capital to do this.
4-Executive Income Protection
The cover is designed for small to medium-sized businesses looking to provide extended sickness and incapacity benefit to selected employees, in a tax-efficient way, the cover can also help meet the ongoing costs of providing Employee Pension Contributions and/or Employer National Insurance contributions during the employee's incapacity if Additional Cover is chosen for an additional cost.
Cover can include the employee’s earnings, dividends and P11D benefits. Additional cover can be arranged at an additional cost to cover employer pension contributions and National Insurance (NI) contributions.
