Key Person Life Insurance
What is key person insurance?
Key person life insurance is a type of life insurance policy that is taken out by a company on the life of an individual who is a key employee or a key contributor to the company's success. The purpose of key person life insurance is to provide financial protection to the company in the event of the unexpected death of the key employee.
There are several reasons why a company might need to purchase key person life insurance. One reason is to protect the company's financial stability in the event of the loss of a key employee. The death of a key employee could have a significant impact on a company's operations, especially if the employee played a critical role in the company's success. For example, if a company's sales manager dies unexpectedly, the company may experience a significant drop in sales, which can have a negative impact on the company's bottom line. Key person life insurance can help to mitigate this financial risk by providing the company with a financial cushion to help it recover from the loss of the key employee.
There are a few different types of key person life insurance policies that a company can choose from. One type is a term life insurance policy, which provides coverage for a specific period, such as 10 or 20 years. Another type is a permanent life insurance policy, which provides coverage for the entirety of the key employee's life. The type of policy that is best for a company will depend on its specific needs and circumstances.
To purchase key person life insurance, a company will typically need to provide information about the key employee, such as their age, health, and occupation. The company will also need to specify the amount of coverage it wants to purchase, as well as the length of the policy. The cost of key person life insurance will depend on a variety of factors, including the age and health of the key employee, the amount of coverage being purchased, and the length of the policy.
