R&SA identifies protection gap

Article Abstract:

Small firms are unaware of the implications of the illness of death of a key employee, according to a recent survey undertaken by NOP for Royal & Sun Alliance (R&SA). Nearly 80% had not considered taking out death or illness cover, although 94% had at least one key member of staff, while 95% had buildings and contents cover. Most of the small businesses in the survey said that they had never had a proper explanation about key employee insurance cover.
