Protect your business with the right insurance

Business insurance advice to safeguard your company’s future

Do you know what would happen if a key team member suddenly couldn’t work? Or if a business partner was to exit the business abruptly due to death, disability or trauma? What if your most valuable salesperson or someone with specialised knowledge were to leave due to illness, injury, or even unexpected death? Would your business be able to carry on smoothly? Or would you struggle to fill the gap, losing revenue, clients, or momentum in the process?

These are real concerns that many business owners face. And it’s why considering your business insurance needs is so important. There are a few main considerations when it comes to business continuity and succession planning.

A Buy/Sell Arrangement – is a contract set up between business partners that clearly states what will happen if an owner leaves the business. It ensures a smooth transition of business ownership to the remaining owners in the event that one business owner dies or is unable to work. Additionally, an insurance policy should be put in place to fund this transfer.

Key Person Insurance – protects your business by providing financial support in case a key individual is no longer able to contribute due to unforeseen circumstances. It’s about ensuring that even if the unexpected happens, your business can continue to operate without significant financial loss.

Let’s secure your business, together

Hi I’m Jacki. I work with businesses like yours to ensure you’re protected against the unforeseen loss of a key individual or business partner. Business insurance and business continuity measures aren’t just about protecting your revenue—it’s about peace of mind. It ensures that if something unexpected happens to a critical member of your team, your business has the financial resources to cover recruitment costs, pay down debt, or provide temporary support while you find a replacement.

We’ll work together to assess the key individuals in your business—whether they are a business partner, your CEO, or someone with specialised knowledge that would be difficult to replace. We’ll also determine together how much coverage your business would need to keep operations running smoothly in case of their absence. The aim is to make sure you have a safety net that covers any financial gaps during challenging times, so your business can stay on track.

I understand that each business is different, which is why I offer tailored advice to suit your specific needs. Whether you’re a small family-owned company or a larger operation, having the right insurance and contracts in place can make a world of difference when you need it most.

Business insurance advice for small business

Running a business involves a lot of moving parts, and often, certain people play an integral role in your company’s success. While no one likes to think about the worst-case scenarios, having business insurance for key people, or a Buy Sell arrangement that allows the transfer of a business to remaining owners, means you don’t have to financially worry about how your business would manage without them. This financial safety net helps you avoid disruptions that could otherwise jeopardise your company’s future.

Whether you’re looking to protect the business you’ve built or want to ensure continuity for your team, Key Person Insurance or a Buy Sell agreement and tailored life insurance plan offers a simple, effective way to reduce risk. By preparing now, you can give your business the resilience it needs to thrive, even if the unexpected happens

Business insurance advice in action

Paul and David

Paul and David own a legal practice and both are income generators for the business. If either of them were to pass away, become disabled or unable to work in the business for a period of time, the cashflow and subsequent profit would be significantly impacted. They wanted to ensure the business can continue to operate if something were to happen to either of them and if one of them is to pass away, the shares are passed to the other owner.

There were a number of meetings to collect personal and financial information, liaising with their accountant to ascertain the financial impact of either being out of the business and tax implications of policy ownership structures, and lawyers to draft a Key Person / Buy Sell agreement. I researched a number of providers, and considered ownership and funding mechanisms as part of my advice.

I presented my advice document outlining the recommendations and its appropriateness. I assisted with the insurance applications and managed it until it was completed, explaining that in the event of a claim I would be their first point of contact to follow it through until it’s finalised.
