Protection / Business protection

For owners, directors and employers

Protect the people.
Protect the business.

A business can depend on a few people for its income, expertise and direction. Start with what would happen if one of them died or became seriously ill, then explore cover that fits the risk.

Start with the purpose

Three conversations worth having.

01 / THE BUSINESS

Key person protection

Explore a financial buffer for the business if a key person dies or, where included, suffers a specified critical illness. The right amount depends on the potential financial impact.

02 / THE OWNERS

Shareholder protection

Consider how surviving owners could fund the purchase of a shareholder’s interest. Insurance needs to work alongside appropriate legal agreements.

03 / THE FAMILY

Relevant life insurance

Employer-funded life cover for an eligible employee or director. A valid claim is intended to benefit the family or financial dependants, rather than the business.

The first conversation

Bring the context.
We’ll help frame the questions.

We will discuss your business structure, ownership, key responsibilities, existing cover and the commitments you want to protect. From there, we can explore the type of cover, amount, term and budget that may be appropriate.

Your accountant or solicitor may need to advise on tax, ownership, trusts and agreements. MOVA does not provide legal or tax advice.

Clear about what insurance can do.

Cover is subject to underwriting, policy terms and exclusions. Critical illness cover pays only for conditions that meet the policy definition; it does not cover every illness. A policy does not replace a succession plan or guarantee that a business can continue trading.

Can I arrange one policy for everything?

These types of cover have different purposes and beneficiaries. We will help you separate the risks so the ownership and intended use of each policy are clear.

Is the cost tax-deductible?

Tax treatment depends on the policy structure, purpose and circumstances, and rules can change. Your accountant should confirm the treatment before cover is arranged.

A clear next step
