Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to a preschool's state license if the director dies suddenly?

Nevada childcare facility licenses are tied to a licensed director. If the director dies, the facility must obtain a qualified replacement director to maintain its license. Key person insurance proceeds provide the financial runway to recruit and credential a replacement without forcing closure.

How much key person coverage does a preschool typically need?

A practical range is 12–24 months of tuition revenue (reflecting the enrollment disruption and licensing transition period), plus outstanding facility debt. For a preschool generating $600K annually, illustrative coverage in the $700K–$1.5M range may be appropriate.

Do preschool co-owners need a formal buy-sell agreement?

Yes. Co-ownership of a licensed childcare facility creates significant legal and operational complications if one owner dies. A funded buy-sell agreement ensures the surviving owner can maintain control and continue operations without forced partnership with the deceased's estate.
