Behind every thriving business, there's an often one key figure. A visionary who drives growth, sparks innovation and builds the relationships that drive the future. But what happens if that person is suddenly gone?
The unexpected loss of an individual due to death, disability or critical illness can shake the very foundation of your business. That is why key person insurance exists. And it's not just a policy; it's a business continuity strategy. At its core, key person insurance replaces lost revenue by stabilizing your cashflow during transition, covers operation costs by keeping your teams paid and your business running, pay off debts by protecting your credit and financial strategy, funds a replacement by recruiting and training the right successor without delay.
It also helps maintain confidence internally and externally when it is enacted. Keeps operations moving, reassures partners and stakeholders. Support succession planning and ownership transitions. Whether you are a startup, a small business or an established company, if your succession depends on a few key individuals, key person coverage is essential.
But to truly protect your business, take it a step further. Combine it with smart retention strategies like golden handcuffs, non-qualified deferred compensation plans and equity incentives to build a comprehensive continuity plan that protects your business from both the unexpected and the avoidable. Your people are your edge. Your strategy is your shield. With the right protection, your business doesn't just survive, it thrives.
