    Business Overhead insurance

    Business Overheads can be vital to the survival of a business. It pays a monthly benefit to help cover the day to day costs of running a business for up to 12 months, if the insured person is disabled because of sickness or injury and is unable to work at their full capacity in their business. Business Overheads is available as a standalone policy.

    • The business’ rent and property rate

    • Leasing costs of equipment and vehicles
