Frequently Asked Questions
How do seafood restaurants calculate key person coverage for the executive chef?
Annual revenue attributable to the chef's menu program, multiplied by 1–2 years, provides a practical baseline. Add buildout debt and outstanding lease obligations for a comprehensive coverage amount.
Should a seafood restaurant owner carry personal life insurance separately from business coverage?
Yes. Personal life insurance protects your family. Business coverage protects the restaurant. These serve distinct purposes and require separate policies sized to their respective coverage goals.
Do restaurant partners need to update their buy-sell agreement when the business grows?
Yes. Buy-sell agreements should be reviewed at least annually or whenever there is a significant change in business value. As the restaurant grows, the coverage amounts and agreed-upon valuation method should be updated to reflect the current business.
