FAQ

Key person insurance provides a death benefit to a business so that it can continue operating if the key person dies. There are no restrictions on how the death benefit is spent. The funds can be used for any expense, including daily operational costs, training a new hire or paying off debt.

Key person insurance is a type of business insurance designed to help a company recover from the financial loss caused by the death of an owner, partner, or essential employee. Key person insurance provides financial protection by giving businesses the time to find and train replacements for key employees.

Under a key person life insurance policy, the business owns the policy, pays the premiums and is the beneficiary. If a key person dies, the business then collects a death benefit. That money can be used to help a business replace lost revenue as they search for a replacement.

Businesses can deduct their key person insurance premiums only if they are a part of the employee's taxable income. In that case, the beneficiary is the employee, which doesn't happen very often because the insured and their family would receive all the benefits if something happened to the insured.

How is key man insurance taxed? Key man insurance is purchased with after-tax dollars and the premiums are not tax-deductible. Like other types of life insurance policies, if the key employee passes away, the company will receive the death benefit tax-free in most cases.
