People are critical in a business. If an owner of a business, or partner and or key employee dies or falls ill, the impact on the business can be enormous, especially a small to medium one. The immediate concern will be to ensure that the business can operate until a replacement can be found, or until the colleague returns to work, or the business remains in the right ownership. Cash Flow can be become a major headache, while sales may fall, expenditure continues and the business's main priority will be to make sure that there is enough cash to meet its existing outgoings such as wages, creditors and other overheads. In short, the business has to continue.
