A Start-up or Expansion Business Loan
If your business has a start-up or expansion loan, chances are you are relying on one or a few key people to repay it.
If something were to happen to one of those people, then business loan protection insurance needs to be in place to pay off the outstanding business loan amount.
Very often, directors will have given personal guarantees, or used their homes as security for the business loan. An insurance policy covering death and serious illness would mean that dependents are protected too.
