Protect your business from the loss of a key employee
about
Key Person Insurance
Key person insurance is an important form of business insurance. There is no legal definition for "key person insurance".
In general, it can be described as an insurance policy taken out often by small to medium sized businesses to protect that business from potential financial losses that could arise from the death or extended incapacity of the member of the business specified on the policy. The policy’s term does not extend beyond the period of the key person’s usefulness to the business.
The aim is also to help protect the profits and facilitate business continuity. Key person insurance does not indemnify the actual losses incurred but provides a fixed monetary sum as specified on the insurance policy upon the insured person either dying or suffering a critical illness as defined in the insurance policy terms & conditions.
An employer may take out a key person insurance policy on the life or health of any employee whose knowledge, work, or overall contribution is considered uniquely valuable to the company. The employer does this to offset the costs (such as hiring temporary help or recruiting a successor) and losses (such as a decreased ability to transact business until successors are trained) which the employer is likely to suffer in the event of the loss of a key person.

who can be a key person?
A key person can be anyone directly associated with the business whose loss can cause financial strain to the business.
For example, the person could be a director of the company, a partner, a key sales person, key project manager, or someone with specific skills or knowledge which is especially valuable to the company.
