Any business owner knows it’s more than just a job – your business is a part of you. It’s a reflection of your hard work, dedication and ideas. You've invested hours, energy and resources into getting it to where it is today. Of course, you’ve insured your equipment, premises and inventory to protect against unforeseen events, but have you considered what might happen if it was you who was suddenly unable to work?

 

As a business owner, your ability to work is not just your livelihood; it's the foundation upon which your entire business operates. If an illness or injury prevents you from working, what would happen to your business? This is where Income protection becomes crucial.

 

Life is unpredictable, and, while it's uncomfortable to think about, the reality is that unexpected illnesses or injuries can occur at any time, and income protection is your safety net in the event of disaster, like being unable to work for an extended period of weeks, months, or even longer. Despite your inability to work, bills and financial obligations won't be left unaccounted for, because income protection steps in to ensure you continue to receive a regular income, allowing you to concentrate on what truly matters: your recovery.

Keeping Your Business Running Smoothly

Income protection isn't just about covering personal expenses; it's about keeping everything on course, even when you're not at the helm. It bridges the financial gap, ensuring that essential expenses - mortgage payments, rent, utilities, and all the other necessary outgoings - are taken care of. This financial cushion allows your business to continue operating smoothly, reducing stress and pressure on you during your recovery.


Protection Tailored to You

 

One of the great advantages of income protection is its flexibility. No two businesses are alike, and that's why income protection policies can be customised to fit your specific circumstances. Whether you prefer a policy that kicks in after a certain period of sick leave or one that begins paying out immediately, there are options available to suit your needs.

Every business owner has unique requirements, so advisers like those at Cherry Godfrey work closely with you to design a policy that offers the right level of protection without stretching your budget. By taking a personalised approach, they can ensure you get the coverage you need - giving you peace of mind without the unnecessary expenses.
