As An Owner Or Manager
You may be relying on a number of Key People to grow and operate your company.
Many businesses are built on the skills, knowledge and determination of a few key individuals whose human capital, energy, understanding and experience make them an invaluable asset to the success of the organization.
Insuring a key person or buying Key Man Insurance is an effective way to manage the risk and potential financial loss your business could experience should one of your key people suffer a critical illness, disability or premature death.
It takes time and money to replace a knowledgeable expert or Key Person, not to mention how it will affect the continuity, sustainability and profitability of your business.

How Does Key
Person Insurance Work?
The business/employer would own and be beneficiary of the policy. The key person or key man is the life insured but would not receive any benefit from the existence of the policy. For a key man life insurance policy the premium is not tax deductible but the benefit is received tax free. For Key Man Disability and Key Person Critical Illness Insurance premium may be deductible but would result in a benefit that would be taxed.
Here Is An Example Of How
Key Person Insurance
Would Help.
Sharon is the owner of a growing technology company that employs 30 full-time employees.
She relies heavily on Paul, her manager, to look after the daily operations of the company while she is out dealing with clients and looking for new customers.
Paul dies suddenly of a massive heart attack. Obviously, there is an emotional impact on the company but it also has a monetary impact.
The Key Person Life & Health Insurance policy that Sharon has purchased on Paul’s life provides the business with a tax free benefit payment, enabling her to overcome a potential disaster for the company.
The money supplies immediate cash flow to cope with a reduction in profitability. There will also be money to hire a recruiting agency to find a replacement for Paul and reassure creditors that the company is on an even keel.
