Frequently Asked Questions
Why is key person insurance especially important for aerospace parts manufacturers?
Aerospace certifications like AS9100 and NADCAP are often dependent on specific quality engineers or directors. Losing these individuals can trigger customer audits, certification reviews, and potential contract suspensions — making key person coverage essential for business continuity.
How do aerospace parts companies typically fund buy-sell agreements?
Cross-purchase or entity-purchase buy-sell agreements funded by life insurance allow surviving partners to acquire ownership interests while maintaining customer certification standings. Coverage amounts should reflect the business's contracted program revenue and equipment asset value.
