What you need to know

Planning for the loss of a shareholder

If a shareholder dies or becomes seriously ill, their shares may pass to family members who would prefer cash, or to someone who does not share the company’s objectives. The remaining shareholders may want to retain control but lack the funds to purchase the shares.

Shareholder protection combines an appropriate insurance policy with supporting documentation so funds can be available following death or a specified critical illness.

Potential benefits

  • Enable shares to transfer to surviving shareholders or the company at a fair commercial price
  • Provide funds to purchase the shares without drawing on money reserved for other purposes
  • Reduce the risk of shares passing to hostile parties or competitors
  • Support business stability and continuity
  • Maintain confidence among employees, customers and lenders

The plan has no cash-in value and cover will lapse if premiums are not maintained. Policy definitions, tax treatment and legal documentation require individual consideration and may change.

We had a really good experience working with Tom as our mortgage advisor. He was always quick to respond and patient with all our questions. It made a big difference knowing we could reach out anytime and get clear answers. He made the whole process feel a lot less stressful. Would happily recommend Tom to anyone who's looking for a straightforward, reliable advisor.
