(Free Press Release) Cheltenham based insurance broker Contact Insurance has urged small and medium sized businesses to review their business protection cover in light of recent research carried out by Scottish Widows.
It has been reported that 80 per cent of small businesses have no cover if an important employee is unable to work due to critical illness or death. A serious illness or accident is not only bad news for the employee, but for small businesses it could have a severe impact on business performance.
David Yates, Head of Marketing at Contact Insurance said: “Due to the current recession many small businesses are more concerned about cash flow rather than prepare for the unexpected loss of a crucial member of staff.â€
It‘s natural that the majority of us take our health and well being for granted, but with one in five sole traders admitting that having at least one employee absent through critical illness, accident or even death would have a negative effect on business survival.
