Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How do pet boarding facilities determine the right amount of key person coverage?

A practical approach is to calculate 12–18 months of gross revenue (the estimated operational disruption period), plus any outstanding facility debt. Coverage in this range provides a runway to recruit new management and stabilize operations.

Do boarding facilities need buy-sell agreements even if they are small operations?

If two or more people own the business, yes. A funded buy-sell agreement prevents the surviving owner from being forced into a co-ownership arrangement with the deceased owner's estate — which can be especially disruptive for hands-on, client-facing businesses.

Can a pet boarding business obtain life insurance on non-owner managers?

Yes. Businesses can obtain key person life insurance on employees who are critical to operations, not just on owners. The business must demonstrate an insurable interest — typically by showing the employee's revenue contribution or the cost of replacing their expertise.
