Frequently Asked Questions
How do family-owned Mexican restaurants plan for ownership succession?
Family succession planning combines an ownership transfer agreement with life insurance providing estate liquidity. If the restaurant passes to a family member, life insurance can equalize the estate for other heirs who don't receive the business.
What is the right coverage amount for a Mexican restaurant generating $800K annually?
A practical range is 12–18 months of revenue plus outstanding debt. Illustrative coverage of $1M–$1.5M may be appropriate. Actual amounts depend on debt levels, family obligations, and individual circumstances.
Should a Mexican restaurant owner carry separate personal and business life insurance?
Yes. Personal life insurance protects your family's income. Business key person coverage protects the restaurant. These serve distinct purposes and are typically structured as separate policies.
