As a business owner, you have taken precautions to mitigate the risks associated with operating a successful company. The most overlooked risk is the financial value of a business owner and key employees and the monetary impact incurred due to a premature death or disability.

Implementing a risk management strategy provides a number of key advantages to you and your business. From an employer perspective, a proper strategy will insure the continued long-term success of your company despite any catastrophic events which may occur. A well-drafted a properly funded plan can protect the interests of the business owners and help facilitate the continuation of the business.

The following risk management tools could help your business effectively address the specific needs and values of a properly funded plan:

1. Buy-Sell Arrangement
2. Key Person Insurance

The best type of buy-sell arrangement depends upon several factors, including the type of business structure and the number of owners. An entity purchase arrangement allows a company to buy out its deceased owners, while a cross-purchase arrangement allows owners to buy each other out.

Key person insurance will protect your business from the premature death of a key employee whose knowledge and contribution to your company are invaluable. The loss of such a key person may result in not only a loss in sales but a potential loss of important contacts and goodwill.
