Business life insurance is a policy purchased by a company or by an investor to insure the life of an executive member of the company. It may also be referred to as key person insurance.
Reasons to Purchase Business Life Insurance
Business life insurance is mainly purchased to protect businesses from the loss that would occur in the event of a manager or executive employee’s death. This key employee is usually considered critical to the businesses’ survival. Life insurance for businesses is important to prevent financial losses to the company. The surviving employees or business owners can use the payout to replace the lost employee, pay off business debt or use the payout as cash flow into the company that otherwise would have been provided by the employee or executive.
