Key Person Insurance Keep corporate knowledge alive Every business has crucial employees or associates upon which the prosperity and very survival of the company depends. Whatever systems you have in place, there will always be at least one person whose unexpected departure will result in an immediate, irrevocable loss of corporate knowledge, ideas, expertise, clients, sales or capital. Key people include: - A founder, owner or partner who is crucial to business strategy, direction and decision-making
- A managing director who has vital experience and expertise specific to the business
- The entire management team which forms the operational backbone of the organisation
- A supplier whose goods are irreplaceable and integral to your supply chain
- Majority shareholders whose stock would need to be bought out and sold to remaining shareholders
- Salespeople or other employees who generate a large portion of business revenue and have extensive personal connections with major distributors or clients.
Key person insurance benefits include: - Ability to secure loans and investments in your company from lenders and investors
- Cover for expenses associated with replacing the keyperson and/or extinguishing debts
- Ability to buy out the insured person's shares or interest in the company.
