What Is Business Protection Insurance?
Business protection insurance is a financial safeguard designed to protect your company from the impact of losing key personnel. For Essex-based businesses, this means securing operations against the loss of business owners, directors, or essential employees due to critical illness or death.
Types of business protection insurance Essex policies include:
- Key Person Insurance – Covers financial loss from losing a vital employee or owner
- Shareholder Protection – Ensures smooth transfer of shares if a shareholder passes away or becomes critically ill
- Partnership Protection – Enables surviving partners to buy out the share of a deceased or incapacitated partner
These policies are tailored to your business structure, offering financial protection and peace of mind.
How Does Business Protection Insurance Work?
When you take out a business protection insurance Essex policy, you’re preparing your business to weather unexpected challenges. Here’s how it works:
- If a key person becomes critically ill or dies, the business receives a tax-free lump sum
- This payout can be used to:
- Replace lost income
- Hire and train a replacement
- Buy out a deceased partner’s share
- Cover medical costs or urgent business expenses
Examples:
- Key Person Insurance helps bridge the financial gap left by a critical team member
- Shareholder Protection ensures shares are transferred smoothly, avoiding disputes
- Income Protection supports the business owner’s income if they’re unable to work due to illness or disability
These policies are built around your business needs, ensuring minimal disruption and maximum resilience.

Professional, Friendly, Experts. Thank you so much!
Jabez and Nikki were amazing. As a first time buyer, they took all the stress of arranging a mortgage away, offering advice and options that I would only be able to get from a broker. Jabez has been proactive throughout the entire process, keeping me well informed and going above and beyond improving my mortgage deal as my house purchase progressed. Well worth the money, and would throughly recommend them for all your mortgage needs!
Excellent Advice & Service!
We had an excellent experience with Financial Service Solutions who helped secure a new deal on our mortgage for another 3 years. They are incredibly professional and friendly. We thoroughly recommend them to others in need of financial advice. Thank you Jazeb & Nikki!
Fantastic service
Both Jabez and Nikki have been extremely helpful throughout the process and have gone above and beyond to ensure our house purchase has gone through as smoothly as possible and were more than happy to do whatever it took to set my mind at ease as a first time buyer - much needed whilst trying to juggle work and a 2 year old. If you are looking for a less stressful house purchase I highly recommend them.
