@Empty Whiskey Glass If the certificate shows the name of the insurance company, it may be possible to visit the company's website and find out what they mean by "Executive" cover.
Samantha Payn Nov 21, 2011:
More information I know you have said there is little information, but does the certificate indicate that the insurance is, for example, medical insurance? That would help to clarify the issue.

insurance coverage for a businessman?

Normally such terms are used to differentiate the coverage offered by the plan. This one may be directed towards businessmen. But without more context, it is impossible to be more specific.
Note from asker:
Unfortunatelly, there is no much context, this is just a short certificate with the summarized details of the coverage, such as period, premiut, etc.

insurance for a business covering loss of key personnel

"Executive" seems to refer to an insurance policy taken out by a business to cover it against the loss of a person crucial to its success and profitability:

"Executive Coverage
Executive Insurance Service
Key Person Insurance

This type of insurance is designed to protect a business in the event of the loss of a person who makes a significant contribution towards the profitability, stability and progress of the business.

Often times, an owner, partner, shareholder, or executive brings a specific expertise to the company. The death or disability of those persons could result in some business interruption in some fashion:"

neutral Samantha Payn : This type of coverage would usually be referred to as "Key Person" cover. The website you refer to explains in layman's terms how this insurance is applicable to business exucutives.

In this company, "executive cover" means key person insurance. I admit it will not necessarily mean that in all cases.
