Share buy-back

Can key person insurance be used to buy out shareholders?

One of the most popular reasons company directors are looking for key person cover is for share buybacks in the event of death. It is common for business partners to agree that in the event of their death, the surviving business partners can buy their shares and take control of the company.

The misconception is that key person insurance can help fund this. However, this is a specific policy called 'shareholder protection'.

Smooth process, easy to deal with and most importantly they saved me a lot of tax by switching my policy to one that could be paid for by the business.

Very happy with the service and process I went through. They explained how the income protection policy worked and how it would be tax efficient for me through my limited company.

Private Business Health Insurance

Private business health insurance can be paid for by your company as an expense and can also be extended to include your family. Corporation tax relief is available, however, a benefit in kind tax will be due on the value of the business health insurance premiums. This is usually more tax efficient than paying for the premiums personally.

Business Wills & Estate Planning

As a business owner, shareholder or key person, you may find that things get complicated when writing your business will or planning your estate. With business wills, effective writing and planning can help make sure who inherits your shares or estate when you pass away, preventing your business interests from passing to someone unsuitable or someone who is ill-equipped.

Shareholder Protection Insurance

In the event of the death of a shareholder the shares that they previously owned could be inherited by another family member, making this person you may never have met, a key shareholder in the decision making of your business. This is a very common risk that can be eliminated by using a simple shareholder protection policy.
