Income Protection
What would happen to you and your family if you were to injure yourself today and be unable to work for a prolonged period of time?
A recent study showed that only half of Britain's 29 million workers could survive for four months on their savings if they were unable to work. Combine this with another study which showed that a majority of people off work due to prolonged illness have been off work for more than 6 months and we have a worrying trend for most Britain's.
Apart from saving for a rainy day there are few options to help you prevent financial ruin in these circumstances. Income Protection Insurance however provides you with the ability to protect a portion of your monthly income for exactly this event. Income Protection will commence paying from as little as the first day you are unable to work and will continue paying until you are able to return to work again however long that might be.
If you can't return to work because of your illness, it can continue paying until your retirement and replace your income for the rest of your working life!

Business Life Assurance and Keyman Life Assurance
Protecting the business which you have worked so hard to build is generally at the forefront of a businessperson's mind. Unfortunately what many people forget to consider is what would happen if a 'key man' in the organisation (such as a director) were to die suddenly or have suffer from a life threatening terminal illness.
In companies where a small number of directors own all the companies shares, a sudden death may allow a rival to purchase the deceased's shares and therefore a power stake in the business if the deceased's heir chooses to sell on those shares.
Business Life , also known as Key Man Insurance, will payout a lump sum upon the death of one of the shareholders to allow the surviving shareholders to buy the deceased's stake in the company.
