Key Man Life Insurance

 

Every successful business has key individuals—founders, executives, or top performers—whose knowledge, leadership, or relationships are critical to the company’s success. If something unexpected were to happen to one of them, what would be the impact on your business?

Key Man Life Insurance is a crucial part of any comprehensive exit strategy and risk management plan. At Exit IQ, we help you identify the key players in your business and secure the coverage necessary to protect your company’s value, continuity, and future.

 

Why Key Man Life Insurance Matters:

• Business Continuity Protection
  If a key executive or founder passes away unexpectedly, the insurance payout provides the company with the capital needed to stabilize operations, replace talent, and maintain stakeholder confidence.

• Preserving Company Value
  Key man insurance can prevent a sudden drop in business valuation by ensuring operations continue smoothly—especially critical if you're preparing to sell, scale, or raise capital.

• Supporting Exit Planning
  In the context of a planned exit, buyers and investors view key man insurance as a smart safeguard that reduces risk. It enhances the overall attractiveness and credibility of your business.

• Debt & Loan Collateral
  Many lenders require key man coverage to secure business loans or credit lines. Having this in place strengthens your financial standing and shows responsible risk planning.

• Buy-Sell Agreement Funding
  Key man life insurance is often used to fund buy-sell agreements between partners, ensuring a smooth ownership transition in the event of a death.
