Who is a Keyman?
A keyman is a person who is responsible for the revenue, profits, growth, and sustainability of your company, either directly or indirectly.
For Eg: the Prime Minister or the President are key people of a country.
Similarly, it could be the founder, partner, director for your company. It could be any employee whose skills are vital to the company and not easily replaceable.
It is a policy taken on the lives of the key people whose death or permanent disability would impact your organization's ability to generate revenue, profit, grow and sustain.
Loss of such vital individuals/partners due to premature death or a severe illness may lead to severe financial setbacks. It could also be a potential threat to the survival of your organization.
Protecting such loss via Keyman insurance will enable the organization to mitigate losses, restore growth and goodwill.

Organizations widely use Decreasing term plans to cover term loans, which reduce every year. They are more cost-effective than Level term policies because the amount of cover decreases every year along with the outstanding loan amount.
Banks in UAE accept such policies as additional collateral when extending a term loan to an organization.
