Frequently Asked Questions
How do franchise agreements affect life insurance needs?
Most franchise agreements require approved succession plans and may mandate minimum insurance coverage. Life insurance ensures funds are available to meet transfer requirements and keep the franchise operating during ownership transitions.
What happens to a franchise if the owner dies unexpectedly?
Without proper planning, franchisors may reclaim the franchise or require a quick sale. Life insurance provides liquidity for heirs to either maintain operations while securing franchisor approval or execute a proper sale.
Do multi-unit franchise owners need more coverage?
Yes. Multi-unit operators typically need coverage reflecting the combined value of all locations, transfer fees, and working capital requirements to maintain operations across the portfolio.
