Life Insurance

Critical Illness Insurance

Provides a lump sum benefit if the insured key person is diagnosed with a covered serious illness and meets the policy’s conditions.

Disability Insurance

How Does Key Person Insurance Work?

Key Person Insurance is generally structured to help a business manage the financial impact of losing an essential individual.

The business generally owns the insurance policy, pays the premiums and receives the insurance proceeds following a qualifying claim, depending on the coverage arrangement.

These funds can help the business maintain operations, replace lost revenue, recruit qualified personnel or meet other financial obligations.

The appropriate coverage amount depends on the individual’s responsibilities, financial contribution and the potential cost of their absence.
