Common questions

Do I need a lawyer for this?

Yes — the insurance funds the buyout, but a formal buy-and-sell agreement drafted by an attorney sets out the terms.

What happens if we don't review our valuation?

Cover may fall short of the business's actual value over time — regular reviews keep the cover amount realistic.

What if there are more than two partners?

Cover can be structured for any number of partners, with each partner's share insured individually.

Have a business partner and no succession plan?

An adviser at Mzansi Advisors can connect you with the right structure and legal support — at no extra cost.
