Estate Planning

Risk Insurance

Farming is more than a business. It is about leaving a legacy for future generations. This is why long-term risk insurance is an essential part of your financial and estate planning. It provides you with the financial backup to mitigate risk.

Agri businesses operate in a higher-risk industry, exposed to unpredictable market and weather conditions, and often this makes it very difficult for farmers to access finance and manage their cash flow. In association with a leading specialist risk product provider, we have constructed an offering for BKB clients to provide insurance solutions for unique clients, such as farmers.

The Efficient Advise / BKB AgriFin product offers you:

  • Life cover is the foundation of your Personal Cover Plan and it is available as whole or life cover.

  • Critical Illness cover offers cover to the life insured should they develop or contract a critical illness. The four main critical illness conditions — heart attack, cancer, stroke and coronary artery disease — are covered under our three main critical illness benefits: Basic, Core, and Comprehensive.

  • Disability cover ranges from occupational disability to impairment cover for those who don’t qualify for occupational disability.

  • Flexible cover allows you to access additional cover at a time when you might need it most. The benefit puts you in the driver’s seat as it allows you to increase or decrease cover if your circumstances change.
