Frequently Asked Questions
How much life insurance does a Pilates studio owner typically need?
A practical starting point is 12–18 months of gross revenue to cover operational disruption, plus outstanding equipment financing and lease obligations. For a studio generating $500K annually with $150K in equipment debt, illustrative coverage might range from $750K to $1M. Actual needs vary by individual circumstances.
Can a Pilates studio use life insurance as a retention tool for instructors?
Yes. Executive bonus arrangements — where the studio pays premiums on a permanent life policy owned by the instructor — are a popular retention strategy for small wellness businesses. The policy builds personal cash value for the instructor while incentivizing tenure.
Is the health of the studio owner a factor in getting business key person insurance?
Yes. Key person insurance is underwritten on the insured individual's health and insurability. The studio owner (or the key instructor being insured) will complete a standard application including health questions and potentially a medical exam.
