Business Loan Protection helps cover key people or individuals in a business.

It helps your client’s business pay off any outstanding loans or debts if the life insured becomes terminally ill (life expectancy less than 12 months) or dies.

Critical Illness Cover and Critical Illness Extra can also be added when taking out the policy.
