Business Risk Insurance ensures there is a clear and delineated succession strategy should something unforeseen happen to a business owner or their key staff. This is an area that can have a huge impact on the proprietor’s wealth and the worth of the business.

For example, Darren and Stuart own 50% each of an I.T. company worth $1,000,000. Even though he is only 36, Darren dies suddenly and his wife Megan (a nurse) inherits his share. Knowing nothing of the business, Megan would prefer to take $500,000 for her husband’s share but Stuart cannot raise the money. The two are now forced to run a business – one that Megan has a strong vested interest in, but very little knowledge – together. A well-structured business risk strategy would have ensured this situation was avoided and that both parties were satisfied.

Key Person Risk Insurance provides a lump sum payout. It’s designed to pay down debt or provide ongoing business revenue in the event of the death or disability of a key person.

Buy/Sell allows for the funding and transfer of ownership of a stakeholder’s share should something unforeseen happen to them.

Business Expense Insurance covers up to a year’s worth of expenses related to the running costs of your business if the insured is unable to perform his or her duties.
