Business Protection

Shareholder protection

Funding the purchase of a deceased or seriously ill shareholder's holding.

Without funding, the surviving owners may find themselves in business with a beneficiary who has no interest in the company, or unable to buy the shares at all.

Cover is usually arranged alongside a cross-option agreement so both sides have a clear, agreed route.

Things worth considering

  • A cross-option agreement is normally essential
  • Valuation method should be agreed in advance
  • Company articles must not conflict with the arrangement
