Protect Your Business from the Loss of a Key Individual
Every business has people it simply can’t function without—whether that’s a founding director, top salesperson, lead technician, or financial controller.
If one of those individuals became seriously ill or passed away unexpectedly, the financial impact on your company could be devastating.
At Elite Mortgages, we help businesses across Portadown, Belfast, and throughout Northern Ireland put the right key person insurance in place—protecting profits, operations, and your long-term success.
What Is Key Person Insurance?
Key person insurance is a life (or life and critical illness) policy taken out by a business on a vital member of staff. If that person dies or is diagnosed with a critical illness, the policy pays a lump sum directly to the business.
This money can help:
Cover lost profits
Fund recruitment and training of a replacement
Repay loans or maintain cash flow
Reassure investors, customers, and suppliers
Keep the business trading through disruption
Who Counts as a Key Person?
A key person is anyone whose skills, knowledge, or contacts are critical to the financial success of your business. This might include:
Founders or directors
Sales managers or top revenue generators
Product developers or specialist technicians
Financial officers or operations managers
Even small businesses can have multiple key individuals—and protecting them is often overlooked until it’s too late.
Why Is Key Person Protection Important?
Without cover in place, the loss of a key individual can lead to:
Missed revenue targets
Cancelled contracts or lost clients
Delayed projects or product launches
Cash flow problems
Business interruption or even closure
Key person insurance helps buy you time, resources, and stability when your business is at its most vulnerable.
