The Purpose of Keyman insurance is to provide emergency funding at a time when the company needs it most. If your revenue is generated by key members of staff, this protection is an essential part of any business contingency planning. The lump sum provided should your key person become incapacitated can pay for any loss in profits caused, any compensation which has to be paid out or funding to cover the replacement and training of staff.

Who Is It For?

The policy is simply a life insurance policy or a life insurance and critical illness on a staff member, however, it’s taken out by the business for the business therefore all premiums must be paid by the business. The lump sum payment should something happen to the insured party goes straight to the business.

This is not seen as a P11D benefit and as such is very tax efficient for the business too as the policy is also deductible from corporation tax making a further 20% saving on the premiums (CT rate correct of March 2015).
