Business Debt Protection

Get in touch

Most small businesses have some form of debt, be it overdrafts, loans or mortgages. These loans can help a business grow, but many businesses don’t have any form of insurance to cover this debt.

Protecting your Business Debt

Many business owners give personal guarantees or even use their own homes as security on business debts. But when a business borrows money from a bank or other financial institution, it’s common for the lender to want some form of protection to repay all, or some of that loan on the death of a key person. If the owner died, or was taken critically ill, these loans could become a liability.

If finance has come from a Director’s loan account, these loans have to be repaid in the event of the Director’s death. If the business does not have sufficient funds this could put severe pressure and strain on the business at a very difficult and demanding time.

What is Business Debt Protection?

Business debt insurance can cover any type of commercial debt including:

  • Overdrafts
  • Commercial loans
  • Commercial mortgages
  • Director’s loans

Any size of debt can be covered – the larger the debt, the larger the premiums will be. But for simple life cover, Business Debt Protection is extremely cost effective.

How does this protect your business?

Business Debt Protection provides the funds to ensure these outstanding loans can be repaid in full should the guarantor die and/or suffer a critical illness, allowing the business to continue with minimum disruption or even failure.

Business Continuity Planning

Business continuity planning plays a key part in protecting the stability of your business. It ensures your business continues to trade even if the unexpected happens. Business Debt Protection is just one area of business protection. You might also want to consider Partner & Shareholder Protection. Without this type of cover in place, if the shareholder dies their shares could go to someone with no interest in your business. There’s also Key Person Protection to protect your business against the loss of a key person and tax efficient Relevant Life Cover which makes staff feel more appreciated so they’re more likely to stay with your company for longer.

Cannot recommend these guys enough. After meeting the lovely Sam, I talked her through the nightmare I had had securing mortgages through other brokers. Sam recommended I spoke to Ricky, who was quick, efficient and super friendly. I recieved a call from Chloe who was also lovely 12 hours later securing my mortgage at an affordable rate and for the amount I desired. The Finance Roome are amazing. Offering an efficient, friendly and successful service. Thank you all. Made my day and took all my stress away. I would give 10 stars if I could.

Can't speak highly enough of the Finance Roome team, we've been with them since we purchased our first house and we've just exchanged on our next property today - and I genuinely don't think we'd have made it before the interest rate hike without them! They are so friendly when you ring, always happy to discuss any little query or concern, and always respond quickly to any communications. You really feel like a valued customer dealing with this team, I've been on the phone to them in floods of tears during this house move and they're so reassuring and kind. Shout out to Adam, Jess H, and Jess D, who I have mainly dealt with - but I can honestly say that every single person I've spoken to has been fab. Without them chasing our mortgage lender to expedite our funds request after some messing from the bottom of our chain, we'd have lost our deal and seen it triple. That's life changing. Thank you Finance Roome!

The finance room have walked is through everything for both mortgages we've had so far. The service has been faultless, diligent and and easy to contact. Responds very quickly to our emails. Gave honest advice and supported us throughout, even when we ended up remortgaging through our previous provider meaning they did not get a commission.

I have nothing but positive words for this company. Chloe and Harriet mainly dealt with my case and their customer service is brilliant. Aside from that, their approach towards everything is proactive, efficient and professional. I cannot fault anything from my experience and when I purchase another property I will be straight to these guys. Thank you everyone!!

From the first moment we messaged Courtney we knew we were in the right hands. The finance roome helped us with the purchase of our first house, from sorting our mortgage to helping with our life insurance and home insurance. Right from the start everyone was friendly helpful and more than happy to take the time to answer any questions we had and even though we had ended up waiting 8 months for the house to finally all go through, they still persisted to chase up our solicitors weekly and check everything was still in order. We couldn’t recommend them enough!

Adam and everyone at the Finance Roome have been wonderful. Words cannot express our thanks for his expert advice, getting us a great mortgage in the nick of time. He quite rightly hurried us to get all our paperwork in order and as such we got a mortgage just days before the massive interest rate hikes. In addition to securing us a great mortgage, Adam was always on hand to provide support and reassurance when our Solicitors were causing us many headaches. Thanks again so much to Adam and the team. We have recommended them to everyone we know who are currently going through the house buying process.

I have just completed my Re-Mortgage with the Finance Roome and am writing this review as I cannot rate this company highly enough. This is not the first time I have used the Mortgage Roome, they arranged my mortgage for my house purchase 5 years ago and were simply outstanding then so I had no hesitation in calling them for my Re-mortgage. Once again, the level of service I have received and the advice has been second to none and I am so grateful to all of the staff (Ellen, Adam Hayter and Jess Hambling) who have provided the advice and assistance along the way. All of the staff I have spoken to have shown that they are extremely knowledgeable, professional and they really listen and understand your needs when providing advice. It is not often you get outstanding service these days so they are totally deserving of a 5 star review. Thank you so much.
