Common Questions
What is key person insurance?
Key person insurance is a life insurance policy owned by the business on a critical employee. If that person dies, the business receives the death benefit to cover lost revenue, recruitment costs, and operational disruption.
How does a buy-sell agreement work with life insurance?
Each business partner takes out a life insurance policy on the other partners. If one partner dies, the death benefit funds the surviving partners' purchase of the deceased's ownership share — keeping the business intact.
Are business life insurance premiums tax-deductible?
It depends on the policy structure. Key person premiums are generally not deductible, but the death benefit is typically tax-free. Executive benefit plans may have different tax treatments — our agents will walk you through the specifics.
How much key person coverage does my business need?
A common approach is to calculate 5–10x the key person's annual compensation, plus an estimate of the revenue they generate and the cost to replace them. Our agents will help you arrive at the right number.
