7. Business Protection Insurance & Relevant Life Plans
The law requires every business to insure their: 1. Customers – Product liability / Professional Indemnity
2. Employees – Employers Liability
3. Public – Public Liability
Most business owners will insure, their buildings, equipment and vehicles
without a second thought.
But what about the loss of the key people who drive profits
or the shareholders or partners themselves?
8. Business Protection Insurance & Relevant Life Plans
• Key Person Protection - The loss of a key person in a business could have a severe
impact. The business could suffer badly, with sales and profits falling and increased
workloads for the remaining staff.
• Partnership / Shareholder Protection - If a business owner dies with no share
protection in place his or her share in the business may be passed to their family. This
means that the surviving business owners could lose control of a proportion or, in some
circumstances, all of the business.
• Business Loan Protection - Being unable to repay loans can be a serious problem for a
business following the death of a key person. For instance, Director loan accounts should
be paid off on death – without business loan protection, where would this money come
from?
• Relevant Life Plans - Relevant Life Plans are similar to most other types of life cover
except they aim to provide a tax efficient benefit provided by an employer for an
employee.
9. Key Person Protection
47% of UK businesses have 3 or more key people who
drive their profits

What is it?
Key Person Protection is a business insuring itself against the financial
loss it would suffer if a key person in their business died or were
diagnosed with a critical illness , if chosen, during the length of the
policy.
How does it work?
Key Person Protection is a life assurance or life assurance and critical
illness cover policy taken out to cover the life of a key person within
your business. The policy is owned and paid for by the employer, so any
pay out is payable to the employer.
10. Partnership / Shareholder Protection
A third of UK businesses have no financial provisions in place to protect
ownership of the business following the death of a shareholder or
partner.

What is it?
The loss of a business owner may destabilise a business and can quickly lead to financial
difficulties. Share Protection allows the remaining partners, directors or members to
remain in control of the business following the death of the business owner.
How does it work?
In the event of a business owner dying or being diagnosed with a terminal or critical
illness, share protection can provide a lump sum to the remaining business owners. This
means that in the event of a valid claim being made during the length of the policy, the
policy could pay out a lump sum to help purchase the deceased
partners/directors/members interest in the business.
11. Business Loan Protection
43% of business debt is completely unprotected
Source: Legal & General Director Survey 2010 commissioned through the Institute of Directors
What is it?
Business Loan Protection helps businesses pay an outstanding overdraft, loan
or commercial mortgage, should a key person die or be diagnosed with a
critical illness during the length of the policy.
How does it work?
Business Loan Protection is a life assurance or life assurance and critical illness
policy. It can be taken out on the life of a person/s within your business. When
a valid business loan protection claim is made a sum is paid to help an
outstanding debt.
12. Relevant Life Plans
What is it?
A Relevant Life Plan is a term assurance plan available to employers to provide an
individual death in service benefit for an employee. It's designed to pay a lump sum
if the person covered dies or is diagnosed with a terminal illness, whilst employed
during the term. A Relevant Life Plan is paid for by the employer.
Who is it aimed at?
