Common key person coverage types.
Key person insurance can be an essential part of your risk management strategy. Secure your business’s future with a safety net that helps maintain continuity, cover operational costs, and reassure stakeholders. There are three types of key person insurance:
Life Insurance
This ensures the company can continue operating smoothly while dealing with the loss of a vital contributor. A lump sum goes to the business, which can be used to cover lost revenue, hire a replacement, or manage any immediate financial disruptions.
Critical Illness Insurance
This insurance covers the company if a key individual is diagnosed with a serious illness. This type of policy provides a lump-sum payment to the business, helping to mitigate the financial impact of their absence during treatment and recovery.
Disability Insurance
This insurance protects the business if a pivotal employee becomes disabled and is unable to perform their duties. It provides financial support to the company, covering the cost of hiring a replacement, adapting to the new situation, or managing any other expenses that arise.
