When a shareholder dies, their shares pass to their estate, potentially ending up with a spouse, children, or creditors who don't want to run a business. Shareholder protection funds the buyback before it becomes a problem.

What is shareholder protection?
Shareholder protection puts money in place so the remaining owners can buy out a shareholder's stake if that shareholder dies or becomes critically ill. Without it, the shares typically pass to the family, who may have no wish to run the business, and no obvious way to be paid out.
It is normally set up alongside a written agreement between the owners, so everybody knows in advance what happens and at what valuation.
