- Agreed value contract
- Built in Partial Disability Benefit
- No ACC offset
- Guaranteed renewable/non-cancellable
- One year benefit period
- Choice of four, eight or 13-week wait periods.
Adding the above enhancements to the existing features makes this an attractive product.
The existing features include:
Kevin Smee of Solutions says; "Tower has packaged some of the best features of the key person products available into an attractive, simple product for the business market".
In the year ending June 2008, 96 New Zealand business people stated that ill health was one of the reasons they declared bankruptcy. Tower's Key Person Cover is designed to help avoid this situation by being a core component of a risk protection plan for small to medium enterprises.
"In a weak economic climate, Key Person Cover can become even more important as it protects the financial contribution that key people make to a business and reduces the financial strain of their absence," Tower Health & Life chief executive Steve Boomert says.
