Running a business is like going on a journey. It’s exciting and rewarding but can be fraught with risks and uncertainty. For most business owners, their business feels like part of their family. You’ve protected them so why wouldn’t you protect your business too?
Think about it, what would happen your business if something happened to you or one of your key employees? How would your business survive if someone became seriously ill? What would happen their shares if your business partner died? Would your own family be financially protected should something happen to you?
