Why Buy Key Man Insurance?

The main reason why businesses obtain Key Person Insurance is to financially compensate the business for losses and to keep continuity in its operation should an unfortunate event happen to a “Key Person” within the company. Key Man Insurance does not cover the actual losses incurred but provides an immediate monetary sum (as specified on the insurance policy).

Employers will obtain Key Person Insurance on the life (or health/disability) of an employee whose skills, contacts, or knowledge is considered valuable to the prosperity of the company. Employers obtain a Key Man Insurance policy to offset the high costs associated with hiring replacement help or recruiting a uniquely qualified successor. The Key Person Policy is also used to offset losses (of income, time, and assets) until a qualified successors can be hired AND properly trained.
