Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to a music school's student roster if the founding director dies?

Student attrition in music schools after a founding instructor's death can be severe — many students attend specifically for that teacher. Key person insurance proceeds fund the transition period and the recruitment of replacement instructors who can gradually rebuild enrollment.

How much life insurance do music school co-founders typically need for a buy-sell agreement?

Coverage is typically based on the agreed fair market value of each owner's interest. Music schools are commonly valued at 1–3x EBITDA. Partners should review and update their buy-sell agreement value annually as the school grows.

Are professional musicians considered high-risk by life insurance underwriters?

Music instruction is a sedentary, low-physical-risk occupation. Professional performance schedules may involve late hours and travel, but these are not direct underwriting factors. Personal health and lifestyle are the primary considerations.
