Executive Income Protection can help small business clients by protecting against the financial impact of their employee becoming ill or injured and unable to work.

The plan is designed to pay a monthly benefit to the business in the event of a valid claim. This can be used to fund the employees ongoing sick pay so they can meet their financial commitments whilst not leaving them to rely solely on their savings or state benefit.

Cover can include the employee’s earnings, dividends and P11D benefits. Additional cover can be arranged at an extra cost to cover employer pension contributions and National Insurance (NI) contributions.
