What is director/key person protection?

Many small and medium-sized businesses are established as private companies, where the directors are often the key people and most valuable assets. If one of these directors were to pass away unexpectedly, it could create significant challenges for the company.

The issue of the deceased director’s share in the business might also raise questions. To prevent these complications, it is essential to have a plan in place, ensuring that the transfer of the deceased director’s interest is handled smoothly.

Company directors or key person insurance is an effective way to provide the necessary funds for the surviving directors to maintain control of the business.

This can help avoid disruptions and potential insurance claims related to the ownership transfer process.

How it works

When a business director passes away, the surviving directors may face questions about how to deal with the deceased’s shares. If the company lacks an agreement, this could lead to disagreements, disruptions, and potential legal challenges.

Company directors or key person insurance helps to resolve this by providing the funds needed to buy out the deceased director’s share. These funds ensure that the business continues operating without any financial setbacks.

Additionally, having this type of insurance in place reduces the risk of insurance claims, ensuring that the company remains in good financial health during challenging times.
