Did you know?
60%
60% of UK companies struggle to survive six months after losing a key director or employee.
The sudden loss of a director or key individual can create an immediate financial and operational crisis. Key person protection ensures your company can maintain cash flow, cover recruitment costs, and continue trading while you adapt.
50%
Over 50% of UK limited companies have no formal shareholder protection in place.
Without structured protection, surviving shareholders may struggle to buy out a deceased partner’s shares, leading to disputes, forced sales, or loss of company control. Proper protection safeguards continuity and ownership.
