Key Person Insurance

Avoid the financial hardship of losing a key member of your team

  • Receive financial compensation for losing a vitally important person
  • Recommended for businesses highly dependent on a single individual
  • Get impartial advice & quotes from reputable FCA-regulated advisers

Most businesses consider taking out Key Person Insurance because they have a founder, director or employee whose loss would cause a major disruption to the business. The negative impact might include:

  • Lost business revenues
  • Added recruitment or training costs
  • Shaken investor confidence
  • Customer and supplier disruptions
  • Loan repayment delays


A Key Person policy compensates your business in the event that one of your “key people” dies, or is diagnosed with a terminal illness or critical illness. That money can then be used to cover the costs of losing that person and, where applicable, finding a replacement.

You can find out if Key Person Insurance is right for your business by taking advantage of a free consultation with one of our advisors at Engage Wealth Management. You won’t need to make any upfront commitments – it’s simply your opportunity to explore costings and find out whether it’s the right option for you.

Client case studies

Engage Wealth Management were contacted by an IT company comprising of two directors seeking £500,000 of cover each on a Key Person scheme.

“Unfortunately, one of the directors had an adverse medical disclosure and was declined by the underwriters,” said Luke Comerford, Protection Adviser at Engage Wealth Management.

“However, we questioned this decision with the underwriter and provided additional evidence on behalf of the client.”

The underwriter ended up revising the case and overturned their decision, which meant both directors were covered by the Key Person plan, and the company was financially protected.
