Plan Overview

Keyman Insurance is a crucial safety net for any business that relies on one or more key individuals for its success. It is a life insurance policy taken out by the business on the life of a key employee. If that person passes away or suffers a critical illness (if included), the policy pays a lump sum to the business, providing the capital needed to navigate the disruption, recruit a replacement, and maintain stability.

Key Features

  • Lump-sum payout made directly to the business
  • Can cover for death and/or critical illness
  • Premiums are typically an allowable business expense
  • Policy is owned and paid for by the company
  • Cover amount calculated based on profit or recruitment costs

Primary Benefits

  • Business Continuity: Provides funds to manage operations during a difficult transition.
  • Debt Repayment: Can be used to repay business loans or other financial commitments.
  • Recruitment Costs: Covers the expense of finding and training a high-caliber replacement.
  • Reassures Lenders & Investors: Demonstrates a robust contingency plan.
