Business Protection Insurance Ireland
Protect Your Business and Loved Ones from Unexpected Events
Running a business is your passion and your livelihood — but unexpected events such as illness, injury, or death can create serious financial challenges. Business protection insurance helps ensure your business can continue operating, protects your partners and shareholders, and provides financial security for your family. At Dolmen Insurance, we provide tailored business protection insurance in Ireland designed to suit your ownership structure and long-term plans.
What Is Business Protection Insurance?
Business protection insurance is designed to protect companies from financial loss if an owner, partner, or key employee becomes seriously ill or passes away. Policies can provide funds to support business continuity, repay debts, replace lost income, or buy out shares, helping ensure stability during difficult times.
Why Business Protection Insurance is Essential
Unexpected events can put your business at risk:
- Serious illness or injury that prevents you from working
- The death of a business partner or co-director
- Financial strain on your family or surviving partners
- Disputes over ownership or shareholding without a clear plan
At Dolmen, we design policies to safeguard your business, allowing it to continue operating smoothly while protecting everyone involved.

Protecting Your Business if You Work Alone
If you own your business outright, you’ve worked hard to build it—and it’s important to protect it.
A Business Protection policy can provide:
- A lump sum to hire a manager or key staff if you are unable to work
- Continuity of operations without financial disruption
- Peace of mind knowing your business is protected during recovery or absence
This ensures your business continues to operate, your employees are supported, and your customers experience no interruption.
Protecting Partnerships and Co-Directors
For businesses with multiple partners or co-directors, the stakes are higher. Consider:
- What happens to a deceased partner’s shareholding?
- Would their family take control, or could the surviving partner buy out the share?
- How can you ensure the business continues without disputes or interruptions?
Business Protection Insurance can fund:
- Shareholder or partnership agreements
- Lump sum payments to purchase a deceased partner’s shareholding
- Financial security for the deceased’s family while keeping the business running smoothly
Taking professional advice ensures that the policy amount reflects the true value of the business and shareholding, avoiding disputes and financial strain.
