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

Monthly benefit

This is to help you run the business if you are injured or ill and unable to work

Recurrent disability

Restarts your benefit immediately if you suffer the same disability within 12 months

Payment while overseas

You’ll get this if you’re disabled while out of the country

Inflation adjustment

Each year your sum insured can be increased without the need for further medical or financial underwriting

Optional benefits you can choose to include:

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.

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.
