Why is Keyman Insurance important? 

Keyman Insurance is critical for the financial stability of a business, should the key person fall ill or die.

In the event of a claim, how would the insurance claim be paid?

A lump sum will be paid out and is designed to support the business financially, until a replacement for the key person is appointed. 

Can we receive this as an income instead of a lump sum?

It is possible for a business to claim monthly payments, rather than a lump sum. This is through a Keyman Income Protection policy.

How long does it take to set up a Key Man policy?

Where the Key Man is below a certain age, in good health and is applying for a sum assured below a specified level, a policy could be applied for online. Cover could also start as soon as terms are accepted by the applicant. 

What about cases where instant cover is not available?

A medical or GP report may be needed. Medicals normally are back within a week or two. GP reports normally take longer.

"I get satisfaction about having ‘real’ conversations with people about why having the right cover in place is so important. I also take a lot of comfort from knowing that our clients are covered should the worst happen."

“Arranging mortgages for my clients impacts positively on their lives, and gives me immense job satisfaction. When a client returns for repeat business, or refers family and friends to me, I know that I have done a great job.”
