Why Small Business Owners Need Life Insurance Personally and Inside the Business

As a small business owner, your personal financial security and your company's operational survival are inextricably linked. Most founders under ten million dollars in revenue operate with a blind spot regarding risk management. They purchase basic term life insurance to protect their family personally, or they buy a modest key-person policy because a bank loan officer forced them to do so during a financing round. Relying on piecemeal coverage creates a dangerous gap in your asset protection strategy. You face a dual risk architecture that requires separate, highly deliberate life insurance structures held both on a personal level and within the corporate entity itself.
