Buy-Sell Agreements with Life Insurance: Ensuring Smooth Business Transitions

From modest family operations to multi-billion dollar corporations, the death of an owner can seriously cripple a business. At Pacific Insurance Group, we help businesses plan for the unexpected with buy-sell agreements funded by life insurance. These agreements ensure the seamless transfer of ownership when a business partner passes away or retires, protecting your company’s future.

Why Choose a Buy-Sell Agreement?

When an owner departs, it can jeopardize business continuity. A buy-sell agreement provides:

  • Financial resources to buy out the deceased owner’s shares
  • Stability for the business during transitions
  • Peace of mind for heirs and surviving owners

How It Works

With a life insurance-funded agreement:

  • The business or owners purchase policies on each partner’s life.
  • Upon the death of an owner, the death benefit is used to buy their share from their heirs.
  • Options include entity purchase or cross-purchase agreements, tailored to your business needs.
