What is Business Contingency insurance?

Growing a business may mean applying for a business loan where you, the business owner, sign personal surety. If anything should happen to you, your estate can be placed at the mercy of creditors - which is why you need Business Contingency insurance. Old Mutual Protect Business Life Cover pays a single tax-free amount starting from N$100 000 to your business when you die. This payout can be used to settle the loan and any other debts the business may have.
