Key person insurance

Helping to mitigate the financial impact of a key employee passing away

Key person insurance helps to protect businesses from the financial impact of losing a vital employee, such as a director, executive, or another highly skilled staff member whose role is critical to the company’s success.

 

In the event of death, critical illness, or long-term incapacity, the business would receive a payout to help cover any lost revenue, hire a replacement, or manage other associated costs during a difficult transition period.

This type of cover is important for businesses that rely heavily on specific individuals to drive revenue or manage operations. The policy ensures business continuity by ensuring that the business can recover from the temporary loss of a key person without suffering financial instability.
