Business protection

Business loan protection, so debts don’t outlive you.

Loans, overdrafts and asset finance are often personally guaranteed by directors. If a director died or fell seriously ill, the lender could call them in. Business loan protection clears the debt instead.

Business loan protection
In a sentence

Life and critical illness cover sized to the business’s borrowing, so loans are repaid and personal guarantees don’t fall on your family.

Who it’s for

Is it right for you?

Directors who’ve signed personal guarantees

Businesses with commercial mortgages, loans or asset finance

Companies taking on new borrowing to grow

How it works

Cover is set up to match the outstanding debt and term. If a covered person dies or has a covered critical illness, the payout is used to repay the lender.

Protecting the family

Where a director has given a personal guarantee, the policy can be arranged so their family isn’t left facing the debt.

Keeping pace

As borrowing changes, cover should too. We’ll review it whenever you refinance or take on new lending.

Options we’ll talk through

The choices, explained.

There’s no single right answer. These are the decisions we’ll go through with you, so you understand exactly what you’re buying.

Level cover

Stays fixed, ideal for overdrafts and interest-only borrowing.

Decreasing cover

Reduces in line with a repayment loan, at lower cost.

Critical illness

Clears the debt on diagnosis of a covered serious illness.

Guarantee protection

Arranged so a personal guarantee is cleared for the director’s family.

Illustrative example

A growing logistics business

The company took a £250,000 loan to buy vehicles, with both directors giving personal guarantees.

We arranged decreasing life and critical illness cover matching the loan, so the debt would be cleared rather than falling on either director’s family.

It can be the business or the individual, depending on the debt and the guarantee. We’ll explain which works best.
