Business Extra
Have you ever stopped to think about what would happen to your business if you suddenly got sick and couldn’t go to work? What if it was one of your business partners or an employee with specialised knowledge? How would this affect your business in the short term? If a return to work was not possible then what would be the long term implications? What would happen if a key person died?
Business Extra will keep your business healthy when the health of you or one of your key people has failed. It provides comprehensive cover based on the expected financial impact on a business over time if a key person is unable to come to work.
All contingencies are conveniently covered in one policy, as different monthly sums assured can be selected, with lump sums payable on long-term disability, trauma and death. This means that you can select the level of your benefit to cover a range of scenarios, without the need for multiple benefits.
Agribusiness Extra
As a farmer you know how unpredictable life can be, and it’s not just the elements you have to worry about. On top of the day-to-day risks of manual labour, you face the same health threats as everyone else – like cancer and heart disease. And you can only be as productive as your body lets you be.
Which begs the question – if you were unable to take care of the farm due to illness or injury will the financial needs of you and your farm be met?
Insurance cover is a vital contingency plan for any farmer, as it can take just one setback to jeopardise years of hard work. Agribusiness Extra aims to protect the financial viability of a farm (and income), when a farmer is unable to work due to disability. Agribusiness Extra also provides lump sum payments should the farmer become permanently disabled, suffer a traumatic condition or pass away.
