When did you last review your existing Shareholder Protection, Key Person and Loan Protection Policies?
Over recent months, we have seen a rise in the number of enquiries we have received form both new and existing clients regarding their Shareholder, Key Person and Loan Protection Policies. The main reason for this increase in activity seems to be that businesses are looking to:
- Ensure their existing level of cover is sufficient
- Ensure the premiums being paid are competitive
- Further understand the tax position of both the premiums and proceeds
What have our findings been?
Generally, our findings have shown that either:
- The level of cover in place is inconsistent to the needs of the business, as the cover has not been reviewed for some time OR
- Premium savings can be achieved for directly comparable cover
What can Wingate do to help?
By allowing us to review your existing arrangements, Wingate can provide you with a tailored report which will summarise your existing arrangements and how these compare to your requirements. This review will be carried out completely free of charge so the only thing it will cost you is your time.
