What is Co-Director Insurance designed for?
A successful business depends on the close co-operation and experience of the directors. The death of one of the directors can have serious impacts on both the surviving directors and the family of the deceased. Normally the surviving directors would wish to buy back the shares from the family of the deceased but may not have the money available.
Who should take Co-Director Insurance out?
The directors themselves

Surviving directors can lose control if a deceased director owned over 50% of the company.
