Contingent Liability Insurance

CONTINGENT LIABILITY INSURANCE

This product is taken out in the event of financing needed for the business. Contingent liability insurance refers to a policy taken out by a business on the life of a director or shareholder who stands surety for the debts of the business. The amount of cover taken out should be equal to the loan amount. 

Benefits of the Contingent Liability Insurance Policy

This business policy insures the life of the guarantor who has signed surety 

The amount of cover needs to be in line with the total debt 

The policy should include life cover and disability

Policy premiums are paid by the business

An agreement is entered into whereby the business undertakes to utilise the proceeds to settle the outstanding debts

The personal estate of the surety is absolved from any liability

Policy Features

The personal estate of the guarantor is released from any liability

The proceeds will pay out tax-free as the policy is made non-conforming (non-tax-deductible).

If the insured dies during the policy period, the cost of continuing with the business after his/her death is covered by the life insurance company 

How it Works

In the event of the guarantor dying or becoming disabled (depending on the original cover chosen) the debt will be paid in full by the proceeds received by the business from the insurance policy paid out.
