Co-Director Insurance

Protect your business with Co-director Insurance

A strong board of directors forms the strategic and financial life-blood of any company. The sudden loss of a director through death, or ill health can potentially have very negative consequences on a business. Co-director Insurance will allow the company to buy a director’s shares from their next-of-kin if these unfortunate events occur. This will bring stability to the business, as the remaining directors gain full control of the company. It could also be a good option for the family of the deceased, who may not have the desire or expertise to take on this role.

What is Co-director Insurance?

This is business-specific life insurance that can provide compensation to shareholders of a company. If one of the directors dies, a lump sum will be released, enabling the surviving directors to buy the deceased person’s shares from their next-of-kin.

How does it work?

You will pay a premium on a regular basis, based on the cover that is required and the value of the shares of the director. If the unexpected happens and this director dies, the policy will provide a lump sum to compensate for this event. This can be used to buy the deceased directors’ shares from his/her next-of-kin.

Product features

  • Peace of Mind: Company directors know they will be in the position to keep control of the company.

Who is Co-director Insurance for?

Co-director Insurance can be taken out by the directors of a company of any size. It will provide funds to allow for the purchase of the shares from next-of-kin, in the event of the death of one of the directors.

Why take out Co-director Insurance?

The death of a director may bring distress and grief to any organization. In addition to that, it could jeopardize the security and direction of the company. If the deceased director was a majority stakeholder, the remaining directors may lose control of the company if next-of-kin were to take over. The deceased’s family may be unfamiliar with the business and may have cash-flow problems after losing his or her income. Co-Director Insurance makes it possible for the directors to buy the shares from the family, which could be the best option for all parties concerned.
