What it is

Key Person Protection explained simply.

Key person protection is a policy taken out by a business on a person whose contribution is important to its financial performance.

It is intended to give the business access to capital if that person dies or, where the option is selected, becomes critically ill during the policy term.

How it works

Three simple steps.

  1. 01

    Answer a few questions

    Short, plain-English questions about what you want key person protection to do.

  2. 02

    We compare the options

    We look at the insurers we can access and work out what suits your situation.

  3. 03

    You decide, in your own time

    We explain the cover, the cost and the limitations in writing before anything is concluded.

Why people consider it

Why this cover is worth understanding.

Revenue can be concentrated

In many businesses a small number of people hold the relationships, technical knowledge or sales pipeline.

Recruitment takes time

Capital can buy the time needed to recruit, retrain and stabilise trading.

Lenders and investors notice

Cover is sometimes expected where borrowing depends on a particular individual.

What we do for you

We handle the whole process.

  • We help you identify who the business actually depends on financially.
  • We compare insurers on cover amount, term and critical illness options.
  • We explain ownership, beneficiary and tax questions that need a separate professional.
  • We handle the application and insurer correspondence for you.
