Not knowing what's round life's corner means Business Protection could really pay off... When it comes to business, the loss of a key person can put immense pressure on remaining owners and senior directors. Apart from increased workloads and potential loss of profits, there may well be the added burden of financial commitments, such as outstanding business loans. Many businesses have to borrow money to start up or expand and often their ability to repay it lies with a few key people. Businesses need to make sure they have enough cover in place to pay an outstanding loan if something happens to those people. Business Loan Protection helps the business pay any outstanding borrowings such as a loan or commercial mortgage, should the person(s) covered, die or become diagnosed with a specified critical illness (if chosen). Lenders usually require this cover and directors may give personal guarantees and/or use their own residential home as security. Therefore there is the added need to make sure dependants of key people are protected too. Director Loan Accounts Sometimes directors makes loans to their business, either by making a cash injection, or leaving salary, bonus or dividends in the business. This is generally referred to as a director's loan account and it becomes repayable to the estate if the director dies. Therefore, businesses need to include this in the life cover sum they are insuring. The fundamentals... Business Loan Protection is either life assurance or life assurance plus critical illness cover, written on the life of the key individual or individuals so that any money due can be used to pay towards any outstanding debt or loan. Please remember that cover will lapse if premiums are not maintained.
