Overview
Life insurance has long been viewed as a safety net for spouses and children because of its role providing financial protection in the event of a breadwinner's death. For many, the family market has largely overshadowed the use of life insurance in the business environment. However, life insurance also plays an important-and sometimes vital-role in helping businesses achieve their objectives as well.
This course examines the role life insurance plays in enabling business organizations to meet numerous objectives, including ensuring the financial health of the business and providing funding for nonqualified benefit plans. Accordingly, this course will examine how life insurance can provide compensation to a business organization upon the loss of a key executive, cash to fulfill the contractual promises made in buy-sell agreements, and funding for executive benefit plans.
