Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How do driving school owners plan for succession given DMV certification requirements?

Nevada driving schools must maintain certified instructor status with the DMV. Ownership succession requires transferring DMV approvals, which may take time. Key person insurance proceeds provide financial support during the transition period while certifications are transferred.

Is driving a vehicle all day a factor in life insurance underwriting?

High driving mileage is noted but is not typically a significant underwriting factor for driving instructors. Your personal health history and lifestyle factors are the primary underwriting considerations.

Do driving schools need buy-sell agreements even at small scale?

If two or more people co-own the school, a funded buy-sell agreement prevents forced co-ownership situations. Even at small scale, the value of certifications, client lists, and ongoing enrollments justifies a formal agreement.
