For business owners
Buy-sell agreements
Whether you're in a partnership or a corporation, a buy-sell agreement funded by life insurance protects the business when an owner passes away — turning a potential crisis into an orderly transition.
The problem it solves
When a co-owner dies, the surviving owners often face a hard question: where does the money come from to buy out the deceased owner's share — and who ends up as their new business partner? Without a plan, that can mean forced sales, disputes, or an unwanted heir at the table.
How it works
The agreement sets the terms in advance, and life insurance funds it. If an owner passes away, the insurance provides the cash to buy out their ownership stake — giving the deceased owner's family fair value and the surviving owners clean, uninterrupted control.
Why it matters
- Financial security and continuity for the surviving owners;
- Fair, fast value for the deceased owner's family;
- No scramble for financing at the worst possible time.
It's one of the most important protections an incorporated or partnered business can put in place.
