The impact of a disability can be devastating. Having adequate disability income protection will go a long way to helping the disabled individual recover, both financially and physically.
One potential issue is the likelihood that your clients income protection plan is entirely dependent on the Group Long Term Disability (LTD) plan at the workplace. While LTD plans offer valuable benefits, they do not provide the comprehensive income protection solution that most employees need.
GSI plans offer tremendous flexibility. They can be designed on an employer pay all basis or as a voluntary offering. GSI plans will often times fill holes in the LTD plan, protecting income the LTD plan does not or providing higher levels of coverage or higher maximum benefits. And, with plans available for as few as five employees, GSI opportunities abound!
Don't let your clients fall victim to a false sense of security. Guaranteed Standard Issue disability insurance plans will separate you from the crowd and help you to grow your disability income business. Your local Plus Group® expert has the unequaled expertise in designing and implementing GSI plans.

Your small business owner clients are fully engaged in making their business thrive. Oftentimes this means working long hours and devoting all of their financial resources toward the business.
But how long will their business survive when a disability strikes?
There are things we do know. Their regular living expenses will likely stay the same or even increase. The business expenses will continue be incurred and the income needed to pay for both personal and business expenses will be interrupted.
What is the solution? A properly designed Business Overhead Expense plan will make sure the expenses at the business are paid. This means the rent check will go out on time, employees don't have to worry about their income, and your client can focus on getting better without the fear of the business collapsing before he or she is ready to come back.
