Frequently Asked Questions
How much life insurance does a self-employed antique dealer need?
A guideline of 10x annual net income provides a starting point. An antique dealer netting $50,000 annually might consider $500K in coverage. Adjust for personal debt and dependent obligations.
Can an antique business be sold after the owner's death?
Antique businesses with significant inventory may have some sale value, but the sourcing expertise and dealer relationships are personal. Most antique dealers benefit more from personal income replacement coverage than from business succession planning.
Is antique dealing considered a low-risk occupation for insurance purposes?
Antique dealing and estate sales are classified as low-physical-risk occupations. Personal health history is the primary underwriting consideration.
