Buy/Sell and Keyman

If you are in partnership with another individual, what happens if the other partner dies or becomes totally and permanently disabled? What happens if a highly valued employee has to take extended sick leave? How will you pay to replace them?

A buy/sell agreement is a contract where the business takes out life insurance on each of the partners/owners. If a partner dies, there is often confusion as to how the business will then be run, as the deceased’s estate is now legally a partner to the business. Buy/sell insurance protects against this by insuring the life’s of the partners. If a partner dies, the insurance company pays the business a lump sum, which is then used to buy the deceased partners share of the business from their estate. This ensures the estate is not left empty handed, and the business can continue to operate.

Workers Compensation (some states)

Workers compensation is required by law in some states. We can help you to arrange a workcover policy.
