Running a Business

Business Protection

Most businesses in the UK today make sure they are covered against the effects of fire or theft – but many do not consider the financial value of their people. 

Financial protection is a crucial part of the financial planning process for your business. Unfortunately, it is one area that is often overlooked. 

Think about it. What would happen to your business if a partner or member became critically ill or even worse, died?  This could have the potential to cause significant financial problems for your business. 

For example: One of the partners in your firm or members of your limited liability partnership becomes critically ill.

Possible impacts:

• Your business may have to run without one of the key people who contribute to its success.
• The partner or member may be unable to return to work for quite some time - if at all.  However, they may still expect to receive an income from your business despite being unable to contribute.
• You may need to recruit and train a temporary replacement – therefore paying two salaries instead of one.
• They may also wish to sell their interest in the business if they decide not to return to work. How would the other owners buy them out?
