Key Person Cover

This offers a safety net if a key person in the company dies or is diagnosed with a serious illness (with Critical Illness Cover).

It gives the business breathing space by paying the claim directly to the company or partners. This can help the business trade as normally as possible.

Relevant Life Cover

This allows companies to offer a death in services benefit to employees – including salaried directors. 

Set up by the company, and placed into trust, it pays out a tax-free lump sum on death, or diagnosis of a terminal illness, of the person insured.

Tax treatment

Matching the right cover to your client’s circumstances is priority. Whether or not tax relief is given on the premiums should not be a priority when putting cover in place.

The tax treatment will vary for each cover option.
