If you run a small business you know that if a member of your team was taken seriously ill or died, your business would be hard hit. Sales or production could fall, key skills could be lost and the general pace of the business could fall.

Insurance is available to offset those financial risks, risks that are potentially most serious in a small business. After all in smaller businesses other employees cant be moved across to fill the gap - theres simply noone spare so the problem remains until the person either returns to work or has to be replaced.

If the person is off sick with a serious illness such as cancer or a heart attack you simply dont know when, or if, theyll return to work and management is caught in a cleft stick. Do they take on a temporary employee or a permanent employee, or are you forced to simply wait until matters resolve themselves? And how much will all this cost the business in terms of both extra costs and lost sales and profit?

Traditionally, its keyman insurance thats covers these very real risks but nine out of ten small businesses still dont carry this insurance. Its either because they havent thought about it or theyve found it to be too costly. (life assurance)

A spokesperson for the Federation of Small Businesses said, "In an ideal world, small firms would be insured against everything, but reality demands the businesses prioritise threats and occasionally take risks".

When looking for a cheap mortgage youre sure to face the decision between choosing a low interest rate mortgage or a higher rate mortgage but with no, or very low, up front costs. (car insurance)

Weve all seen mortgages with incredibly low interest rates advertised in the national press and on the Internet. Experience shows that its a low interest rate that pulls in the borrowers so lenders bust a gut to publicise low headline rates. The difficulty is that these super low rates force the lenders to recover some of their profits in other ways. A high arrangement fee is a common solution.

An arrangement fee is charged to allegedly cover the cost of administering the mortgage application and reserving the advance. Normally these fees can be added to the mortgage but some lenders require them to be paid in advance. And they can vary enormously, not just between lenders but even between the mortgages offered by the same lender. So keep your eyes skinned!

According to the Council of Mortgage Lenders, last year over 200,000 homes in the London area were financed by an interest only mortgage without a repayment vehicle being in place. Of these, 60,900 buyers were first-timers.

We cannot find national figures for the total number of homebuyers with interest only mortgages. However, the market share for interest-only mortgages has been running between 10 and 20% over the past 10 years.

Now it looks as if mortgage brokers have been arranging more than half of these interest only mortgages. So when these mortgages reach maturity, if the mortgage holder hasnt enough cash to repay the mortgage debt, many of these brokers could be up with a claim for miss-selling.
