Are there any Buisness overdraft stand alone insurance/protection policies available?

My father and i have a small family buisness basically just the both of us .
We have an overdraft with LLoydsTsb and they want us to take out protection insurance for the overdraft (which is expensive).
We are trying to cut down on the ever increasing overheads of running a small buisness/partnership.
Are there any standalone insurance/protection schemes for buisness overdrafts?

    Ok then yes. The standalone product is called permanent health insurance (PHI) and is available though any independent financial advisor or whole of market protection advisor. It is also available through tied agents but would be more expensive and usually of lower quality.
