Buy Sell Agreement and Funding
Business Succession planning is a fundamental tool in providing the ability of your business to continue to operate in the event that one or more of the directors cannot continue to operate the business due to Death, Total & Permanent Disability or Trauma Insurance.
Without the appropriate cover and agreement in place the following issues may arise:
- The business may not be able to obtain additional finance to fund the purchase;
- The surviving director may not feel it appropriate to invest further personal funds into the business, or be unable to borrow additional funds personally;
- The spouse (or estate) of the director may nominate a person to actively participate in the business;
- The spouse (or estate) may choose to sell their percentage of the business to another person, who is not suitable to the business.
Keyperson Cover
Keyperson insurance, also known as key employee insurance, is a vital form of business insurance that provides financial protection in the event of the death or incapacitation of a crucial member of the organization. This type of insurance is designed to compensate for the potential financial losses that a company may incur due to the loss of a key individual whose skills, knowledge, and leadership are essential to the business’s success. By securing keyperson insurance, businesses can ensure continuity and stability, safeguarding against disruptions that could impact operations, profitability, and long-term growth.
