Key Man Insurance is a type of life insurance policy taken out by a business on a key employee or founder. Here’s what it’s all about:

Protects the business: Covers financial losses if the key person dies or becomes incapacitated

Covers financial impact: Helps replace lost revenue, recruit and train a replacement, or pay off debts

Payout to the business: Insurance payout goes to the company, not the individual’s family

Why is it important?

Business continuity: Ensures the business can continue operating

Financial stability: Helps mitigate financial risks associated with losing a key person

Recruitment and training: Covers costs of finding and training a replacement

Typically covers:

Death or disability: Payouts for death or critical illness of the key person

Business loan repayment: Helps repay loans or debts tied to the key person
