Frequently Asked Questions
How much life insurance does a hotel owner typically need?
Hotel owners should carry coverage reflecting their personal income obligation to family members plus the business's outstanding debt — often including a significant property mortgage, renovation loans, and potentially SBA financing. Coverage ranging from $1M to $10M+ is common for mid-size hotel properties.
Do hotel franchise agreements affect succession planning?
Yes. Most hotel franchise brands require approval for ownership transfers. Some brands have right-of-first-refusal provisions. Life insurance-funded buy-sell agreements provide the liquidity for planned ownership transitions that can satisfy brand agreement requirements.
