Shareholder protection double option agreements

This is very useful when a shareholder is identified as a key person in a particular company. This involves shareholders having a written agreement that in the event of a death the remaining shareholders must offer to buy the shares. The family of the dead shareholder must in turn offer to sell the shares to the remaining shareholders. The money, however, comes from a insurance that is taken out by the shareholders rather than directly from the shareholders themselves. This has the benefit of providing money for the relatives of the dead shareholder and also allowing the existing shareholders to increase their shares in the company. Without this agreement and insurance the shareholders wouldn't be able to buy the shares and the family would end up with some worthless paper that they couldn't do anything with. As you can see this contingency plan benefits everybody.

What is Key Person Insurance?

There is no better feeling than when your business is going well. Orders are coming in and more importantly cash is coming in to meet all those horrible bills and provide you with a profit and in turn a nice life style. Nobody wants to think about bad times but sometimes it pays to think about them a little and prepare for any eventuality. There are so many companies here in Wolverhampton and the rest of the West Midlands that have no contingency plan to deal with the death or critical illness of a key worker or shareholder. It is a sad fact that these businesses will quickly fail if the key person isn't doing their job. This is where Key Person insurance comes in to its own. It is also sometimes called key worker insurance or key man insurance. This insurance could provide a cash injection to cover the employment and training of a new individual to fill the gap and money to tide the business over while the gap is plugged and business returns to normal. You could buy an off the peg insurance from one of those big insurance companies, but it is likely that only a part of the problem could be solved or their could be a range of taxes that have to be paid ion any insurance money gained. Company law in this area is complex. What you need is a professional company specialising in this area of insurance with a lot of experience over a number of years. I recommend that you take a look at Corporate Consultants  as they specialise in Key Man insurance Wolverhampton.
