The
loss of a key person can be a major blow to a small business if that
person is the key contact for customers and suppliers and the management
of the business. Loss of the key person may also make the running of the
business less efficient and result in a loss of capital.
Losses caused by the death of a key employee are insurable. Such
policies will compensate the business against significant losses that
result from that person's death or disability. The amount and cost of
insurance needed for a particular business depends on the situation and
the age, health and role of the key employee.
Key employee life insurance pays a death benefit to the company when the
key employee dies. The policy is normally owned by the company, which
pays the premiums and is the beneficary. Contact an insurance agent or
broker whose specializes in key employee insurance for more on how much
it may cost for your company.
