What is Company-Owned Life Insurance?
Company-owned life insurance (COLI), also referred to as corporate-owned life insurance, is a policy taken out on one or more critical employees.
Business continuity is important, especially when there are multiple partners or important equity holders involved in the running of a business. Unexpected circumstances are all the more devastating when there’s no backup plan in place.
Your company pays insurance premiums to ensure that death benefits are provided if a covered employee dies. By finding a COLI policy that meets your company’s needs, you can minimize its tax burden, increase after-tax net income, finance employee benefits, and help cover expenses associated with replacing an insured employee upon that employee’s death.
Your Corporate-Owned Life Insurance Policy Options
Richmond Life Insurance works with a variety of carriers to help you find a life insurance policy scaled to your employees and business:
Buy-Sell Life Insurance Agreements
Buy-Sell Life Insurance Agreements, also known as Buyout Agreements, are legal contracts that determine how a business owner’s share of your company will be transferred upon their death, disability, or retirement.
These agreements are funded by life insurance policies, ensuring you have the necessary funds to buy out the deceased or departing owner’s interest.
Many buy-sell arrangements are either:
● A cross-purchase agreement where the remaining owners or partners purchase the share of the business that is for sale.
● An entity-purchase agreement where the business entity itself buys the deceased’s share of the business.
Key Person Life Insurance
Key Person Life Insurance is a policy that a company purchases on the life of an owner or someone with significant financial stakes such as a top executive or critical employee.
For these life insurance policies, the company is the beneficiary of the policy and makes the premium payments.
This is designed to protect the company if someone’s death could devastate the company. For many small businesses, this could be the primary owner and for larger businesses, it could be an essential executive.
Your policy can buy your company the time needed to recover and regroup after the loss of a leader.
Split Dollar Life Insurance Agreement
Split-dollar life insurance is a financial agreement between two or more parties that outlines how to share the costs, ownership, and benefits of a permanent life insurance policy.
Most of these agreements are made between an employer and an employee. This flexible policy establishes who pays the premiums, owns the policy, names the beneficiaries and establishes how the benefits and policy will end.
Split-dollar life insurance can be a useful tool for employers to recruit high-value executives. Richmond Life Insurance works to help you understand the tax implications of these policies to ensure it’s the right fit for your business.
