6 in 10 SMEs would cease trading within a year if a key person died (L&G State of the Nation's SME Report, 2021).

The reality for business owners.
If a key person, partner, or director is no longer able to work, the effects can be significant:

Disruption to staff and day-to-day operations
Pressure on remaining team members
Risk to business loans or financial commitments
Potential changes in ownership or control
Most businesses simply aren't prepared, but a little planning now can make all the difference.
