Key person insurance for H-1B owner situations is a life insurance policy a business owns on someone whose work it depends on. The company usually pays the premiums and receives the death benefit if that person dies. This page explains how the policy is built, how visa status can enter underwriting, and what a coverage review covers for Florida businesses.<\/p>\n

What key person insurance is and who it fits<\/h2>\n

Key person insurance<\/a> is life insurance that a business owns on the life of an owner, officer or key employee. The Insurance Information Institute<\/a> describes it as coverage that can compensate a business for financial losses caused by a key person’s death or disability.<\/p>\n

A key person is someone whose skill, client relationships or leadership drive revenue. Closely held companies in Florida may use this coverage because one person can hold much of the business together.<\/p>\n

Personal life insurance is different. An individual buys it to protect family. A key person policy is bought by the business to protect the company.<\/p>\n

Visa status adds questions. When the owner or key employee holds an H-1B or L-1 visa, the business has to think about who can be insured, residency facts and how the policy is set up.<\/p>\n

Many readers are a partner, co-owner or relative.<\/p>\n\n
