Business Insurance

Let North Central Investment Services help you protect your family and company’s financial future. Some of the types of business insurance you may consider:

 

Business-Owner Life Insurance - The owner of a business holds the most important position in a company and his or her status must be protected with business owner life insurance. If that principal business member dies, life insurance can be used to cover estate taxes and help protect a company from bankruptcy. By owning a business owner life insurance policy, you can provide for the needs of your employees, your business, and your family.

Buy-Sell Insurance – Many companies with more than one owner establish a buy-sell agreement which determines how ownership of the business transfers if one owner dies or becomes disabled.  Buy-Sell Life Insurance and Disability Insurance is a type of business insurance used to fund buy-sell agreements.

Key-Employee Insurance - Key person insurance is needed if the sudden loss of a key executive would have a large negative effect on the company's operations. The payout provided from the death of the executive essentially buys the company time to find a qualified person, or to implement other strategies to preserve the business.  The company pays the premiums and is the beneficiary of the policy.

Executive Benefit Plans – These plans help you recruit, retain and reward your top talent.  Many of these non-qualified plans (including supplemental executive retirement plans (SERP), Split Dollar Arrangements, Executive Bonus,  and Business Owner’s Bonus Plans) use life insurance to fund the benefit; oftentimes in a tax efficient manner to either the business or the beneficiaries.

Group Insurance – Having a competitive benefits package can help your company attract and retain valuable employees.  One of the ways to do this is by providing your employees an affordable way to purchase life or disability coverage.  Contact us for more information about incorporating cost-effective group life and/or disability insurance into your benefits package.
