Defaqto has published an adviser guide on business protection.

The CPD accredited guide identifies the main risks posed to businesses in term of continuity and succession planning and describes how life assurance, critical illness insurance and income protection insurance policies can be used to address those risks.

The guide also detailes business protection propositions from the providers that are active in this market.

Ben Heffer, insight analyst at Defaqto and author of the guide, said: “This publication is designed to group all the information an adviser would need to familiarise themselves with the business protection market. It should encourage advisers to look with fresh eyes at their existing client base to discover unidentified opportunities.

“Business protection propositions are less about the products, which are in fact relatively simple, but more about the planning and the help that providers can give to support advisers in prospecting, fact-finding and devising insurance solutions that will work.”
