Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the impact of Nevada's professional sports expansion on sports bar values?

Las Vegas's professional sports presence has significantly increased sports bar valuations. Proximity to stadiums, team affiliation partnerships, and broadcast agreements add measurable business value that should be reflected in key person coverage amounts and buy-sell agreement valuations.

How do sports bar co-owners structure buy-sell agreements?

Cross-purchase buy-sell agreements funded by life insurance are the standard approach for sports bar partnerships. Each owner is insured at the agreed business value times their ownership percentage.

Should a sports bar owner carry personal life insurance in addition to business coverage?

Yes. Personal life insurance protects your family's financial security regardless of the business outcome. Business key person and buy-sell coverage protect the bar itself. Both are typically appropriate for business owners with dependents.
