Main body of email/letter / As a business owner you are dedicated to looking after your customers. But who is looking after you?
What would the financial impact be if you – or a business partner– were unable to work due to illness or injury?
Would you lose customers? Could you still pay your staff? Could you still draw a wage to provide for your own lifestyle and that of your family?
The financial consequences could be devastating for you, your family, and your business.
I have helped a variety of business owners put protection plans in place which can:
  • replace up to 75% of income lost due to disablement; and
  • payfixed business costs such as rent, leasing and salaries.
In most cases the cost is tax deductible.
You’ve worked hard to build a business and a future for your loved ones, don’t jeopardise it.
