Key Person Insurance.
More often than not, businesses are heavily reliant on at least one person to make them tick.
Whether it’s the MD responsible for steering the ship or the awesome sales director brining the money in, if something were to happen to this person the business would struggle, at best.
Too often we see businesses fail as a result of losing a key person, quite simply because our people ARE the business.
A question every business should ask themselves is this: If our key person(s) were to die of become critically ill and unable to work long term, how would we cope?
How would this affect cash flow? New business no longer coming in, existing business lost, recruitment fees to find a suitable replacement, how long before they’re up to speed?
Who is a key person?
A key person refers to someone whose role is vital to the smooth functioning of a business, including directors, employees, or anyone whose expertise, competence, and experience have an impact on the company’s revenue. To put it differently, it is important to identify the responsibilities that a key person holds. It is worth considering if any financial obligations or loans are reliant on the individual, the potential impact their absence would have on sales, or how their nonattendance would affect future planning.
What are the benefits of key person insurance?
Financial Protection
In the event of the unexpected death or disability of a key employee, the policy can provide financial support to the business to cover losses and expenses.
Continuity of operations
Key person insurance can help the business continue operating by providing funds for hiring and training a replacement, paying off debts or loans, and meeting other financial obligations.
Retaining investors' confidence
The policy can help maintain the trust of investors, creditors, and customers by demonstrating that the business is prepared for unforeseen events.
Tax benefits
Key person insurance premiums are usually tax-deductible, and the policy’s proceeds are generally tax-free.
Recruitment and retention tool
The policy can serve as a valuable recruitment and retention tool by assuring employees that the business has a plan in place to protect them and their families in case of unexpected events.
