Who needs life insurance for a key individual?
Life insurance for a key individual is essential for a wide range of companies. Generally speaking, small and medium-sized enterprises have the greatest need for this type of insurance. These companies depend on the experience and talent of a few key individuals for their success. The loss of a key employee in a small or medium-sized company can cause operational inefficiencies that could endanger the business. Other businesses which may consider obtaining life insurance for a key individual include:
- Companies in niche markets where replacement employees may not be readily available.
- Companies that employ an exceptional sales person.
- Companies with financing linked to key employees.
- Starting businesses.
- Companies where the business owner wants liquidity for their beneficiaries, in case of death or disability.
Benefit payments from key individual life insurance policies are often used to cover:
- Expenses related to hiring and training a new employee to replace the key individual.
- Losses that may arise due to errors or delays associated with less experienced/skilled employees attempting to fill the role of a key person.
- Loans that become due as a result of the death of a key employee.
- Business operational expenses.
The insured value is calculated based on various key elements:
- How much was this executive contributing to company earnings?
- The cost of undeveloped or unfinished projects, which would cease due to the death of a key employee.
- The cost of recruiting and training a new executive.
- The cost of future projects, which would have been developed if the key executive were alive.
