Key Person Income Protection helps businesses who wish to protect against the financial impact of their employee becoming ill or injured. If the employee covered becomes incapacitated due to illness or injury and unable to work as a result, we will pay your client’s business a regular monthly benefit.

The benefit can be used to hire a temporary replacement employee, to protect a proportion of profits, or help with business loan repayments.
