Life insurance for business owners

4 min read

When a business depends on specific people, coverage protects more than a family.

Two families depend on you

Owners often carry personal obligations and business obligations at once — payroll, a lease, a line of credit, a partner who could not continue alone.

Coverage can be structured to address both, but the structure matters as much as the amount.

Common structures

Buy-sell arrangements give surviving owners the funds to purchase a departing owner's share. Key person coverage helps a business absorb the loss of someone difficult to replace. Some lenders require coverage as a condition of financing.

Get the paperwork right

Ownership, beneficiary and agreement language should line up. We coordinate with your attorney and tax professional rather than substituting for them.
