Scotia Business Loan Protection

What happens when a business owner passes away? Or when a key employee has an accident or falls ill? These are situations we never want to imagine, but they happen more often than you might think. And if your business is unprotected, the consequences could be difficult for you and the people you care about.

The good news is you can protect your business with Scotia Business Loan Protection.

Scotia Business Loan Protection is simple but effective insurance. If you or another key employee loses the ability to work, Scotia Business Loan Protection can make regular payments or completely pay off your Scotiabank line of credit, loan or credit card.
