Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How do video production companies calculate key person coverage for a founding director?

A common approach is to estimate 12–24 months of revenue tied to the director's client relationships, plus the cost of recruiting and on-boarding a replacement with equivalent experience and contacts. For a $2M production company, illustrative coverage might range from $1.5M to $3M.

Should a video production co-founder carry both personal and business life insurance?

Yes. Business key person and buy-sell coverage protect the company. Personal life insurance protects your family from income loss. These serve distinct purposes and are typically structured separately.

Can a video production company use life insurance to fund equipment purchases?

Permanent life insurance accumulates cash value that policy owners can access through loans or withdrawals. Some production company owners use this feature to supplement business financing needs. Agents in our network can explain how cash value accumulation works in practice.
