Why Blue Herring?

What is Buy Sell Insurance?

Buy sell insurance is designed for businesses with two or more partners. This life and disability insurance financially backs an existing buy sell agreement by ensuring that remaining partners in a business have the cash necessary to buy out the business interest of the exiting partner.

Who needs Buy Sell Insurance?

Any business with two or more partners should evaluate the need for buy sell insurance. If you fit into one of the categories below, you should seriously consider a buy sell insurance policy.

  • Business value of $5M+
  • Partners have a large age gap
  • All partners are healthy
  • Ownership percentages are unequal
  • You would not want to own your business with an exiting partners’ heirs
  • You cannot personally fund a buyout per your contract
  • Business requiring professional education/licensing

Benefits of Buy Sell Insurance

Liquidity

Funding buy sell agreements with life insurance provides the capital needed should one of the partners die or become disabled.

Simplicity

When your buy sell agreement is funded by life insurance, it lessens the risk of legal battles between exiting partners and existing ones.

Efficiency

Since buy sell insurance claims are paid relatively quickly, a legal buyout can be done easily and efficiently.
