FAQs
Answering your Shareholder Protection questions
How does Shareholder Protection work?
The policy pays out a lump sum to the remaining shareholders, enabling them to purchase the outgoing shareholder’s equity.
What happens if a shareholder leaves the business?
Shareholder Protection can help facilitate a smooth buyout process, ensuring the shareholder that’s going or their family is fairly compensated while allowing the company to retain control.
Can the policy cover shareholder disagreements?
While the policy itself does not resolve disputes, having shareholder protection in place alongside a clear shareholder agreement can help avoid conflicts by setting predefined terms for these circumstances.
