Key person insurance is a life policy a practice owns on a doctor or lawyer whose work the practice depends on. If that person dies, the death benefit is paid to the business. That money can help cover payroll, loan payments and other bills while the practice adjusts. NR CPAs & Business Advisors, a Miami CPA firm, reviews this coverage alongside the practice’s finances. Insurance is offered by Nischay Rawal, a licensed insurance agent, separately from the accounting practice.<\/p>\n

What key person insurance is and why professional practices use it<\/h2>\n

Key person insurance is a policy the business owns, and the business is the beneficiary. The insured is a key doctor, lawyer or partner whose skills, referrals or client relationships the practice relies on.<\/p>\n

A practice can have strong staff and still lose much of its revenue when its main clinician or attorney dies. Patients and clients often follow that person. The practice may still owe rent, payroll and loan payments.<\/p>\n

The Insurance Information Institute<\/a> explains that key person life insurance compensates a business for financial losses caused by a key employee’s death or disability.<\/p>\n

This is different from personal life insurance bought for a family. Personal coverage pays the family directly. Key person coverage pays the practice, which can then keep the business stable for the people who depend on it, including staff and partners. That is how it helps protect your loved ones.<\/p>\n\n
