Key person insurance is a crucial aspect of financial planning for businesses of all sizes, not limited to large corporations. In a podcast episode featuring Rhett Chambers, the founder of Rhett Chambers Financial Services, he stresses the importance of key person insurance for businesses of all scales. Rhett explains that this insurance can benefit partnerships, sole proprietorships, and even small businesses with just one owner and one employee. It is designed to shield the business from the financial impact of losing a key employee due to death, illness, or disability.

Rhett shares an example of a partnership between two attorneys, where one fell critically ill. The key person insurance plan owned by the law firm injected cash into the business, providing reassurance to the partners that financial stability would be maintained during the partner’s illness. This example illustrates how key person insurance can be crucial in ensuring business continuity and financial stability, regardless of the business’s size.

Moreover, Rhett dispels the misconception that only large corporations need key person insurance. He clarifies that businesses of all sizes can benefit from this planning. In the case of a sole proprietorship, the insurance can be structured to protect the family and the business separately. By setting up key person insurance where the business owns the policy, pays the premiums, and is the beneficiary, businesses of any size can have complete control over the coverage and benefits.

Rhett explained: “A key person insurance can be designed in a multitude of ways, which gives protection to the business in the event that they lose this performance by the key person. Also, the key person insurance would be almost an immediate cash influx to the business. And this gives peace of mind to the business owners and to the other workers at the business that, during this period of time, while we try to recover, we’re going to be in a better position to take our time and make good, informed decisions.”
