Key Person Insurance

‘Key Person’ insurance refers to a person or employee that the business is dependent on to produce revenue or is responsible for all or a significant portion of business debt.

If the ‘Key Person’ dies, becomes disabled or suffers a trauma event, their major contribution disappears, which may have a significant financial impact of the cash flow of the business. Key Person insurance provides a lump sum benefit to assist the business in implementing contingencies to continue operating.

This type of insurance is a part of a larger Business Succession and Continuation offering that also includes Buy and Sell insurance coverage, buy and sell insurance is a funding option to assist in the transfer of the business equity in the event of the death, disability or trauma event of an owner or partner.

In these cases, it is vital for business owners to enter into a written buy/sell agreement, setting out their respective obligations with regard to the transfer of the business equity. The choice of insurance solution for buy/sell purposes depends on the trigger events being covered.

Key Person and Buy and Sell are particularly complex areas of insurance and our Bruce Life Insurance Adviser can help by ensuring that the correct benefit amounts are in place and the ownership of the insurance is correct so that if there is a trigger event your business will continue.
