Risk Assessment
The emphasis is on protecting the business and the business owner’s equity and interests. This includes that the security of the business is assured in the event of the owner’s illness, disability or death. We ensure that the appropriate compensation schemes, funding mechanisms and legal agreements are in place. The complex tax and legislative requirements are appropriately considered.

Suretyship protection
Raising finance can be critical to sustain the operations and growth of ones business. When doing so owners usually have to sign personal surety on behalf of their businesses. Death of a business owner could affect the security of a family. In order to separate personal financial need from business obligations, we implement suretyship protection.

Key staff members
Many business owners recognise their staff to be their most valuable asset. How would the death of key staff member impact financially on the business? How can the business protect itself? The solution could be to insure these individuals.

Business Continuity
Many people spend a great deal of time and effort establishing and operating their biggest asset, a business. An untimely death could mean that this asset could be lost to their family, and dependants could be left in an awkward financial position. To avoid this possibility business continuity plans can be implemented.
