Executive Income Protection

Your salary, protected. Through your business.

Executive Income Protection is company-paid income protection for directors and key employees. Premiums are paid from company funds, typically as a business expense, making it a tax-efficient way for a company to protect its people.

Initial consultations are completely free of charge. There's no obligation to proceed and there is no fee for protection advice.

Should you fail to disclose or misrepresent a fact, then you risk the insurer only paying part of a claim, declining to pay all of the claim or possibly declaring the policy invalid.

In plain English

What is executive income protection?

Executive income protection is income protection arranged and paid for by a business for a director or key employee. The business receives the benefit if a claim is made and passes it on through payroll in the normal way.

It works in much the same way as personal income protection, but the premiums sit with the company. Whether that is the better route depends on how you draw income from the business.

Common questions

Questions about Executive Income Protection

The key difference is who pays. With executive IP, the company pays the premiums (typically deductible). Benefits are paid to the employer, who continues to pay the employee, meaning normal deductions (tax, NI) apply on the benefit payment.
