If you’ve built a family business, you already know—it’s more than a job. It’s your legacy.
But what happens to that legacy when you’re no longer at the helm? Without the right planning, the transition can create confusion, conflict, and even force the sale of a business you worked your whole life to build.
That’s where the right life insurance strategy comes in.
Whether you’re planning to pass the business to your children, equalize inheritance between heirs, or protect against estate taxes, life insurance can play a powerful role in making sure your wishes are carried out smoothly.
With the right approach, it can help:
- Provide liquidity for estate taxes or debts
- Fund a buy-sell agreement to protect business partners and heirs
- Equalize inheritance between children involved in the business and those who aren’t
- Ensure your family can keep the business running without needing to sell assets or borrow money
- Support succession planning with clarity and confidence
Legacy planning for a family-owned business is more than just paperwork-it’s a strategic, intentional process. And life insurance can be the financial backbone that holds it all together.
