Frequently Asked Questions
How do security clearance requirements affect key person insurance planning for defense manufacturers?
Defense contracts often require specific cleared individuals in program management roles. The death of a cleared program manager can trigger contract review and potential rebidding. Key person insurance provides financial bridge funding while the company recruits and clears replacement leadership.
What makes defense manufacturing buy-sell agreements different from commercial manufacturers?
Defense company ownership transfers may require government approval or notification under certain contract vehicles. Buy-sell agreements should be structured with awareness of FOCI (Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence) restrictions and DCSA review processes that can affect ownership transition timelines.
