Business Protection

Key Person & Business
Continuity Planning

A calculated financial safety net that keeps your business running — and your people protected — no matter what happens.

What This Solves

Unexpected events — such as an illness, the death of a key owner, or sudden operational disruptions — can bring a thriving Pennsylvania business to a grinding halt overnight. Key Person and Business Continuity planning provide a calculated financial safety net to protect your operations and personnel.

Unprotected Business Risks

  • Sudden revenue drops or lost client accounts if a key performer passes away
  • Lenders demanding immediate repayment of corporate debts or lines of credit
  • Forced liquidation or messy probate fights over ownership transitions
  • Losing top executive talent to competitor firms with better benefits

Structured Corporate Continuity

  • Tax-free cash benefits directly to the firm to recruit and train replacements
  • Section 162 Executive Bonus Plans to tie down and reward top performers tax-deductibly
  • Endorsement Split Dollar arrangements to split costs while retaining equity
  • Guaranteed frameworks that keep operational momentum entirely secure

Frequently Asked Questions

Who owns and pays for a Key Person life insurance policy?

The business entity itself acts as the policy applicant, payor, and primary beneficiary. If that critical individual passes away, the company receives the tax-free payout directly.

What is a Section 162 Executive Bonus Plan?

It is a strategy where an employer bonuses premium dollars to a selected employee, who then owns a permanent policy. The business deducts the bonus, and the employee accumulates asset equity.

How are Split Dollar arrangements structured?

An Endorsement Split Dollar arrangement allows an employer to share insurance costs and benefits with a key executive. The employer typically owns the policy and retains an interest in its cash value accumulation.

Does this disrupt our ongoing corporate accounting?

Not at all. These plans are chosen for their straightforward installation parameters, offering powerful executive tracking with very low upkeep friction.
