Business Insurance

What it does for you

Business insurance, incorporated through life, trauma, and income protection insurance, is a vital safety net for anyone operating his or her own business, or in partnership in a business. It should be a strategy that protects the business, your income and your personal assets from being lost or drained while the main income producer of the business is away due to injury or illness.

An essential and often missed component of a “business risk strategy” is Business Expenses Protection, which will provide up to 100% of allowable expenses, thus enabling a business to continue while you are away without draining or depleting funds, including any income protection payout that replaces your salary.

It is important that the structure, including ownership and beneficiaries, of the policies be organized correctly in consideration of the operational issues of the business.

Choosing insurance that is right for you and your business

This particular area of insurance cover requires careful consideration and may be more involved depending on the nature and structure of the business, as well as the financial structure and situation of the owner(s). These more intricate considerations are in addition to proper product selection, of which there are numerous choices with varying definitions, components, and costs. The best solution for anyone seeking sound advice in this area is to consult with a financial adviser who is a qualified, specialist in this area.
