Key person insurance is essential if the insured person’s death would be would be a setback to the future of the business. The company is also the beneficiary of the policy and pays the premiums.

The death benefits from key person insurance can be used to cover the costs of recruiting, hiring, and training a replacement for the deceased employee. If it is not possible for the business to continue operations, it can also use the benefits to pay debts actually a requirement for SBA loans), issue money to investors, and provide severance to employees.

To determine whether businesses require key person insurance, company owners must first examine which employees are irreplaceable in the short term. When a key employee retires, the business can use the policy’s cash value to provide additional retirement income to the employee. If this employee dies before retirement, the benefits would be paid to the company and the employee’s family.
