Frequently Asked Questions
How does Nevada vocational school licensing affect succession planning?
Nevada requires vocational and trade schools to maintain licensed administrative staff meeting state educational and professional standards. If the licensed director dies, the school must transition to a qualified replacement quickly to avoid license suspension. Key person insurance funds this transition period.
What equipment values should trade schools consider in their insurance planning?
Specialized training equipment — welding stations, HVAC systems, automotive lifts, electrical simulation panels — can represent $500K to $5M+ in investment. This debt should be factored into business life insurance coverage amounts to ensure the school can continue operations or be sold as a going concern.
Are trade school co-founders treated differently than private school co-founders for buy-sell purposes?
The structure is similar, but valuation methods may differ. Vocational schools are often valued on student enrollment capacity, tuition revenue, employer placement rates, and accreditation status. A licensed agent can help determine appropriate coverage amounts based on a current business valuation.
