Key Person Cover
An insurance policy taken out by a business to compensate that business for financial losses that would arise from:– the death – or extended incapacity
of the member of the business specified on the policy. The aim is to compensate the business for losses and facilitate
business continuity. 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.

Do I need Key Person Cover?
Ask the following questions: If they went tomorrow would there be a negative impact on the
business? What effect will this have on clients, sales, turnover and profit? Do they have a unique skill or knowledge that cannot easily be
replaced? Is there someone already on the team who could do their job? If there is a team member who can take over, who will do their
job? Will you have to recruit a replacement? If you have to recruit how much will it cost, how long will it take
and how will you pay them?
