I’ve brought this up in the past in response to a very real need with missionaries. Traditional life insurance isn’t horribly friendly to folks doing mission work outside of the country, a knee jerk reaction to the fact that there are some places in the...

It’s a given that most companies would carry key man life insurance or buy/sell life insurance on the CEO. Any company that thinks they are too small or too large for CEO life insurance coverage really hasn’t thought through what would happen if that...

The two things you can count on, death and taxes, right? Well, done correctly at least the two don’t need to be mixed. The Gold Nugget in life insurance death benefits has always been the fact that the proceeds are not income taxable. If you take out $500,000...

My mother never told me running a small business was easy. In fact it went something more like, “wouldn’t you be better off getting a real job?” I wrote that in 2007, one of the first posts to this forum. I have been self employed since 1978, most of...

Being a small business person myself I know that there are plenty of opportunities to bust your budget if you take everyone’s advice, get all the best bells and whistles and make your business 99.99% bombproof. It’s funny to see success draw the vultures...

If you make $300,000 or less then this post is probably not for you, unless you can envision a time when your income is higher. Traditional disability income insurance will pay, at most, 65% of your income as a benefit, theoretically what you would net post taxes....

I have clients all over the Middle East doing everything from engineering to Afghan translation to security services. I have been working with a company out of Argentina that has oil field crews working revolving shifts in Iraq and it looks like we will have the...

As a business person I have become accustomed to wanting to deduct everything I can. If there was a way to deduct the air that is used in my office every day I would be installing an air gauge. Business life insurance benefits are income tax free which is like the 8th...

Did you know that you have the right to name a second person to receive bills and notices for your life insurance policy? I have no idea what the number really is, but I am betting the number of death benefits that aren’t paid every year due to a policy lapsing...

Big giant disclaimer. We have found several highly rated US life insurance companies that will write foreign nationals living in the US and foreign nationals living outside the US. I have kept this fairly low key until I worked through a few cases, one in Jamaica, one...

Without proper business life insurance in force the family of a deceased partner in a business could stand to lose the portion of the business that their loved worked long and hard to create, and to leave as a legacy. A succession plan for a business, whether a...

I remember when a one world economy was the stuff that movies and books were made of. Conspiracy theories were rampant about a global economy kind of being the beginning of the end. So, the reality is that we are there. That is us. There are certainly plenty of home...

Impaired risk life insurance has always been the cornerstone of our business. That decision to take the life insurance agent path less traveled has proven to be a blessing for our clients and for me. The majority of agents are after the majority of clients. Clients...

Probably very close to 100% of the time a person can go about obtaining life insurance with the traditional application, exam and underwriting period. But there are exceptions. The truth is I don’t recommend that anyone that needs life insurance and...

The best laid plans, right? “You know, we really ought to get a will done.” “You know, we really ought to figure out what happens to our two young children if we die in a car accident.” “You know partner, if you died tomorrow I...
