Last week, I had to travel down to Surrey to meet some new suppliers, and the journey was terrible. A cold and rainy March day, the motorway was extremely busy and there were a lot of lorries on the road. Sometimes I just couldnt see due to the spray and driving rain. As the M25 approached the traffic on the M1 slowed down and then stopped. Good old Radio 2 informed me that there was a major accident ahead and there would be long delays. Sure enough, my journey took at least an hour extra.

"The accident had been pushed onto the hard shoulder by the time I approached. Two cars and a lorry had a bad smash and I doubt either of the car drivers survived. If I had left 10 minutes earlier, that could have been me in that crash. It was a ( home insurance ) sobering thought.

Similarly, if my co-director died or was too ill to work anymore, how would we manage without him? (home insurance quotes)

"It wouldnt take long for the Bank to call and ask what would be happening with his 50% share of the company. Id be left in a position where Id have to buy the shares if I wanted to keep the company as my own. Id also need to bring in another employee at director level to keep the business going, and build it up again. At that level it would be very costly and very time consuming, getting the right person to fit in to a small business can be difficult.

"I started to get really worried - what provisions had we made to ensure that the business would survive if we lost one of your key members of staff?"
