We set out hereunder issues that should be considered when assessing the level of cover required:

  • The delay before the replacement begins to make a Contribution to Profits
  • The Loans that could be recalled on a Keyperson’s death

The Company is allowed to use the settlement in any way it wishes.

Partnership Protection Insurance

On the Death or Critical Illness sustained by a Company Director or partner there is an immediate Lump Sum paid to the survivors or to the Company to secure the survival of the business.

The combination of Life cover, Serious Illness cover and other valuable benefits guarantee security and peace of mind for the business and the family on the sudden illness or death of a Director or partner.

All partnerships should have a plan in place as to how they will deal with the unexpected death of a partner. Will the surviving partner be allowed purchase the remaining shares or will they transfer to the deceased partners estate potentially introducing another party to the business.

The proceeds of the policy can be used to pay the deceased partners estate a fair value for the shares.
