What is Business Disability Insurance?
Business Disability Insurance is designed to inject cash into your business in the event that you as the owner, or one of your key employees, need to take time off work due to illness or injury. It’s paid monthly.
Most people use Business Disability Insurance for:
- Hire a contractor to cover the work that they would normally be doing
- Supplement some of their lost business revenue
Business Disability Insurance benefits
Optional benefits you can choose to include:
Helps you through your recovery period of part time work until you are able to resume full time duties.
Show us financial evidence of business growth and we'll increase your monthly benefit without needing further medical assessment.
Lump Sum Support when you need it. Receive this benefit if you suffer any of 29 specified injuries (ranging from broken bones to paralysis). The benefit is payable even if you are still able to continue working. Check the policy document for the full list of injuries and payment periods.
If you have an existing policy with Asteron Life, your policy may be different from our current on-sale products, so it’s a good idea to check things with your adviser.
There are terms and conditions that apply to all benefits within Business Disability Insurance. Don't worry though, your adviser can take you through these and what they mean.
Other types of cover
You should also check out Business Expenses Insurance, which can help cover those ongoing costs of staying in business, if you’re unable to work.
