Key Person Insurance is an umbrella term for a range of insurances that protect your business from financial loss should a certain person be unable to work due to illness or injury. At Lifetime, we understand how important some people can be. With our help we can create the perfect insurance plan to protect your business against illness and injury.
As a business owner you are usually considered a Key Person. You are the one with the vision for your company, the one with the drive to generate income and the one who motivates the other employees. Without you, your business would not be as successful and if you were unable to work due to illness or injury the company would definitely suffer.
Of course, you can’t be everywhere at once and sometimes certain employees are just as important. It might be that you can’t imagine coping without your office manager or that you rely on the income a certain salesperson brings in. It doesn’t matter who they are or what position they fill, if they’re essential to your business we can help you protect them with one or all of the covers below.

This cover is designed to provide a lump sum to the business in the case the key person is unable to work. This money will give you an immediate injection of funds to use however you see fit.
