Re: Key Man Insurance

I can't say I've seen it used for years. The concept is that certain people in the company are essential for the continuation of the company. If one of these people dies, the company would severely suffer or collapse. I would analyze your company and determine what the effect would be if one of your "key" people weren't there. Although I'm not sure it pays out if one of those people merely leave on their own!

Re: Key Man Insurance

It really depends on what you are using keyman for there are four categories of loss for which Keyman Insurance can provide compensation:

1. Losses related to the extended period when a key person is unable to work, to provide temporary personnel and, if necessary to finance the recruitment and training of a replacement.
2. Insurance to protect profits. For example, offsetting lost income from lost sales, losses resulting from the delay or cancellation of any business project that the key person was involved in, loss of opportunity to expand, loss of spe******ed skills or knowledge.
3. Insurance to protect shareholders or partnership interests. Typically this is insurance to enable shareholdings or partnership interests to be purchased by existing shareholders or partners.
4. Insurance for anyone involved in guaranteeing businesses loans or banking facilities. The value of insurance cover is arranged to equal the value of the guarantee given by the key person.

I agree with the previous comment that it is not used as much as it use to be but in some cases you may find it irreplacable.

Re: Key Man Insurance

I wish someone would buy keyman insurance on me then I would know that I am important 🙂 Seriously I think it is a good investment if you have one person that is that valuable however, a good business should not be run that way if it is a decent size.

Re: Key Man Insurance

Key man insurance is a form of insurance coverage available to businesses. The insurance provides resources to help the company weather the unanticipated and sudden loss of an individual who is considered essential to the ongoing operation of the business. In most cases, the insurance coverage is only valid in situations where the loss takes place due to sudden death or disability of the insured party.

Generally, the insuranceinsuranceinsurance provider has a set of minimum requirements that must be met before keykeykey manmanman insuranceinsuranceinsurance is issued for an employee of any company. The business must be able to demonstrate that the employee has such qualities as expertise, creativity, or knowledge and ability that are crucial to the ongoing operation of the company.

Re: Key Man Insurance

Dear All Is Employee insurance a must for all the employees in a software company? When should the insurance start for a new joinee in probation period? What ad all should be included in employee insurance accidental maternity? What if an employee meets with an accident before issuing an Insurance Policy? Should the company pay for the medical expenses as there is no insurance?
