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...

If life and life insurance was all simple there wouldn’t be any bumps in the road. We would all have the coverage we need when we need it and Dorothy would be singing Somewhere Over The Rainbow in the background. Truth is that most of the time with life...

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...

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...

In business we don’t always have the luxury of waiting to buy business life insurance when it’s a better value or more convenient. When the bank says now… When the court judge says now… When a large financial agreement is waiting for life...

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 have a client that is 76, the kind of guy that I envy at 18 years his junior. He skis the Rockies every year and is still an instrument rated private pilot, and an active business owner. The last two business life insurance policies we got him at ages 70 and 71, we...

For a lot of people reaching the big FIVE O, is a moment to ponder. “Ok. I’m halfway to 100. Most people I know who are a hundred are dead.” Maybe being over 50 life insurance should start flashing on the radar. Little blips saying “you...

All right guys, you can take a break. Although you could certainly buy life insurance on Sunday the last thing you want is your friends knowing you were doing something more important than football. I already know how most of you feel about life insurance. If...

Small business is the backbone of our country’s economy and for most of us, even more importantly, it is the backbone of our personal budget. Without those paychecks in today’s job market we would indeed be up a creek. So, have you asked your boss, the...

Whether as an executive or CEO of a large business, or as owner of one of the small businesses that are the backbone of this country, women are increasingly in charge of companies and increasingly needing to consider life insurance as a way to protect that for their...
