Business Owners Insurance

Key person insurance is simply a life insurance plan for a vital person within a business. In a smaller business, this key person could be an owner, the company president or perhaps even an employee. Whoever it may be, the key person is someone who is crucial to day-to-day operations. Key person insurance comes into effect in the event of the key person’s death and funds are put towards either replacing the key person or other expenses such as paying off loans. If you are just starting out with your business and feel that you, your business partner or one of your employees is absolutely crucial to its success, the key person insurance plan will provide you with peace of mind knowing your business is prepared for the worst.

Buy/Sell agreement insurance is for a business that is run by two or more partners. Upon the death of a partner, a buy/sell agreement insurance plan is used to buy the deceased partner’s share of the business. The money used to buy the deceased partner’s share is received by his or her beneficiaries – this enables the remaining partners to not have to pay for it out of pocket. It also ensures that the business transitions smoothly, while providing the deceased partners beneficiaries with their share right away. A key feature that Elite Private Wealth builds into its buy/sell insurance policies involves the ability to purchase additional insurance as the business grows without having to do additional medicals.
