Frequently Asked Questions
Do steel fabricator owners pay higher life insurance rates due to shop work?
Steel fabricators who work primarily in estimating, project management, or executive roles typically qualify for standard rates. Those who regularly perform hands-on fabrication work in a shop environment may face occupational ratings. Personal health history remains the primary underwriting factor.
How do structural steel fabricators calculate their business value for buy-sell planning?
Steel fabrication businesses are typically valued on a multiple of EBITDA, plus equipment and real estate at fair market value. Buy-sell agreements funded by life insurance should account for the combined value of tangible assets and customer relationship goodwill.
