They say running a business is like raising a child – it needs constant care and attention to grow. But what happens when you need to step away to take care of yourself because of an illness, injury or a disability?

Investec Life’s Business Overheads Cover helps offset your business expenses while you recover, to ensure you can keep paying for things like rent, utilities, and even the salaries of your staff who rely on you. That way, you can focus on recovering, and still return to a thriving business.

The video on this page contains factual information and should therefore not be regarded as financial advice.
