Business life insurance types
Key Person Insurance
What’s covered?
Protects your business in case of the unexpected loss of a key employee or owner whose contributions are vital to the business operation.
Why do I need this?
Key person insurance helps your business manage financial losses and facilitates a smoother transition in the event of a significant loss.
Buy/Sell Agreement Funding
What’s covered?
Life insurance policies can help fund buy/sell agreements, ensuring business continuity by providing the funds necessary to buy out a deceased partner's share.
Why do I need this?
This helps ensure stability and financial security for the business and the deceased partner’s beneficiaries.
Business life insurance is ideal for businesses that:
Rely on key individuals for their success
If your business heavily depends on the expertise, skills, or relationships of key individuals, commercial life insurance ensures that the financial impact of losing such key figures is mitigated. This type of coverage can provide stability during transitions and protect against financial disruptions.
Have partners or co-owners
Businesses with multiple owners or partners face unique challenges in the event of the death of a co-owner. Commercial life insurance, especially through buy/sell agreements, ensures a smooth transition of ownership by providing funds to buy out the deceased partner’s share. This safeguards the business’s continuity and the financial interests of all involved parties.
Are family-owned businesses
In family-owned businesses, the transition of leadership and ownership can be emotionally and financially complex. Commercial life insurance can be instrumental in facilitating a smooth generational transfer, providing financial support to the family and ensuring the ongoing success of the business.
