You've worked hard to ensure the success of your business. Now, protect it.

Our revolutionary approach towards business life insurance means personalised protection for your business life insurance needs, helping you to grow and protect your legacy. Building and running a successful business often takes considerable financial investment. That’s why it is important to plan for what happens in the event that you or a key person within your business suffers a life-changing event. Business assurance offers you the ability to structure your financial plan so that your loved ones are protected, and that your business can continue to grow.

Business Assurance - Bespoke cover for your brand of business

Discovery’s Business Life Plan has been crafted to comprehensively protect a wide range of business needs. It provides cost-effective cover that enables policyholders to earn significant rewards, simply for living well.

The Business Life Plan offers protection against the passing of an owner, provides collateral for any business-related debt, and allows an organisation to safeguard the value of its key personnel.

“If anything untoward had to happen to a business owner or organisation partner, including death, such losses will be sufficiently covered to keep the doors of the business open. Better still, the benefit to business owners is that cover is customisable so that it really suits the needs of the organisation it is designed to protect.”

Discovery Life is in a unique position to incentivise the lives assured to improve their health through various benefits, such as PayBack. Not only does this make the life assured healthier, but the owner of the insurance policy also benefits by paying lower premiums.

“In so doing, the interests of the business, the organisation owner or owners, the life assured and Discovery Life as the insurer, are well aligned. With improved health, everyone’s best interests are better taken care of,” says Disipi.

“At Discovery Life, we believe that the health of a business largely depends on the same of the person building it. So, by continuously protecting your own health, the real benefit will show in the financial wellness of your business,” explains Discovery certified financial adviser, Onnalena Disipi.

“With Discovery’s Business Life Plan, a business owner can protect the financial wellness of the organisation through a number of benefits, such as premium discounts, PayBacks every five-years and additional discounted cover, free of underwriting, simply by taking the very best care of themselves,’ she explains.

Discovery Life pays out as much as R2.7 billion* in premium PayBacks and discounts to policyholders every year.

“Discovery’s Business Life Plan is designed to offer personalised protection for your business, with significant value returned to you for managing your health and wellness.” Disipi adds.
