Frequently Asked Questions
How do industrial supply distributors calculate key person coverage needs?
Key person coverage typically reflects the annual gross profit generated by relationships tied to specific owners or managers. For a distributor where the owner personally manages key mining accounts representing $500K in annual gross profit, illustrative coverage might range from $1M to $2M.
What buy-sell considerations are unique to industrial supply distributors?
Business valuation for distributors typically considers customer relationship goodwill, inventory value, supplier agreement terms, and facility value. Life insurance-funded buy-sell agreements should cover all components to ensure the surviving partner can acquire full ownership without capital strain.
