Key person insurance is a specialist type of cover that protects a business in the event of a crucial member of staff becoming unable to work due to critical illness or death. Sometimes also called key person insurance, for some businesses key person insurance can be the difference between business failure and survival.
Often, a business relies heavily on the skill, knowledge, and performance of an individual (the ‘key person’) who contributes significantly to the revenue and profitability of the business. This could be a director, senior manager, or any other employee, who, if they were unable to work or if they passed away, would result in a disastrous impact on business activity or profitability.
Key person insurance offers a lump sum payment to the business, to cover the cost of replacing the staff member or director, or to cover retraining costs, or offset the loss of revenue and profits from the loss. If the business had to claim on their key person insurance, they could receive a tax-free lump sum amount to cover the deficit.
Key person insurance should not be taken out against all members of staff: the premiums alone would mean it was not a cost-efficient decision. The business needs key person insurance only if the individual plays a significant role in the financial performance of the business. You need to consider how expensive it would be to replace them or the impact on profitability before you take out key person insurance against them.

EXCELLENTBased on 100 reviewsDaniel Couchman12 January 2024This review is long overdue - Active mortgages got us our dream home! I spoke with around 7 different brokers from different companies which didn’t know what they were talking about but then I found Simon at active - he was straight to the point and got us the best deal and the highest amount possible. I got a bit impatient at one point but that was due to the banks taking ages to process everything - active were calm and reassured us. Highly recommended. Excellent from start to finish Even sent us a gift for Xmas - thank you!Meena Kanagavel2 January 2024Jamie Murray from Active Mortgages has been amazing in setting up the VAT loan, whilst we purchased our Land.
