Insurance Strategies for Families & Businesses

Insurance is a tool — and like every tool, it has to be matched to the job. We do independent needs analysis across the major insurance categories, recommend appropriate coverage, and shop multiple carriers for competitive pricing. We don't earn higher commissions for selling permanent insurance, so our recommendation truly reflects your situation.

Personal Insurance Planning

  • Life insurance needs analysis — how much, what type (term vs. permanent), and for how long
  • Disability insurance review for high-income professionals and business owners
  • Long-term care insurance: traditional, hybrid life/LTC, and asset-based policies
  • Umbrella liability coverage to protect investable assets from catastrophic claims

Business Insurance Planning

  • Key person life and disability insurance to protect against the loss of a critical employee
  • Buy-sell agreement funding through life insurance for partnerships and closely held businesses
  • Business overhead expense (BOE) insurance for owner-operators
  • Corporate-owned life insurance (COLI) for informal funding of executive benefit plans

How We Work Differently

  • Independent — we shop the market across A-rated carriers rather than push one company's products
  • Level commissions, not stacked incentives — we explain exactly how each product compensates us
  • Existing-policy reviews to find paid-up coverage that no longer needs premiums or policies bleeding cash value
  • Integration with your overall financial plan, not treated as a standalone sale

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need term or permanent life insurance?

Most families are best served by term life insurance covering working years. Permanent insurance becomes more relevant for estate tax planning, supplemental retirement income, or when health makes future coverage uncertain.

When should I consider long-term care insurance?

The sweet spot is generally ages 55 to 65 — old enough for premiums to be predictable, young enough to qualify medically. Hybrid life/LTC policies have largely replaced traditional standalone LTC for many of our clients.

Is buy-sell life insurance tax-deductible?

Premiums for buy-sell life insurance are generally not tax-deductible, but death benefits are usually received income-tax-free, providing efficient funding for the surviving partners to buy out the deceased's interest.
