Most small businesses have three similar issues that can rob the owner of a good night’s sleep:
1. Planning for ownership transition and the continuation of the business
Planning for continuation of ownership in the event of retirement, disability or death is perhaps the fundamental need of any closely held business, especially one that has more than one owner.
Solution: When life insurance is incorporated into buy-sell planning, it can provide the funds needed to liquidate ownership shares and allow a co-owner or partner to buy out the other partner.
2. Protecting the operating team of the business
Every successful business has at least one key employee or contributor who is indispensable. What if that person died unexpectedly or had a severe disability?
Solution: Life insurance can be used to protect against the financial costs associated with the loss of a key employee. The key-employee life insurance policy provides liquidity to sustain cash flow, keep accounts current and cover the expense of seeking and training a replacement.
3. Recruiting, retaining and rewarding key employees
It is tough to attract talented employees. The best people have many choices for employment and can command their desired compensation package.
Solution: Life insurance can be used to recruit and retain key employees by:
Rewarding key personnel with a tax-advantaged retirement income in the form of a life insurance policy, where the business owner pays the premium in the form of a bonus to the employee.
Attracting and retain talented executives and key employees using life insurance as part of a benefit program that will supplement the regular retirement benefits of a key executive.
There’s no better time to start planning for your small business! Talk with a financial planner to help regain control of your sleepless nights.
