Relevant Life Protection

Relax, our advice is free

RELEVANT LIFE INSURANCE

If you're a company director or business owner paying for your own life insurance, you may be able to arrange this more tax-efficiently. With a personal policy, you're paying premiums from income that's already been taxed.

Relevant life insurance is an alternative:

Your company pays the premiums as a business expense.

You don't pay income tax or National Insurance on the premiums.

Your family receives the full payout tax-free.

And your company may be able to claim corporation tax relief on the premiums.

However, relevant life insurance isn't suitable for everyone, and there are specific requirements that must be met.

Here's How We Can Help

We work with company directors to help them understand their protection options.

As well as relevant life insurance, you might also want to consider:

Key person insurance – key person (or keyman) insurance helps to protect a key employee.

Shareholder protection – shareholder protection insurance allows remaining shareholders to purchase the shares of a shareholder that has recently died or become seriously ill.

We'll help you understand your options so you can make an informed decision about your protection.
