Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How do resort gift shop owners factor their lease into life insurance planning?

Premium resort corridor leases represent significant financial commitments that persist regardless of the owner's health. These obligations should be included in total coverage calculations alongside income replacement and business relationship value.

Do gift shop co-owners need a formal buy-sell agreement?

Yes. Any co-ownership arrangement benefits from a funded buy-sell agreement preventing forced co-ownership with a deceased partner's estate. This is especially important when the business has a valuable lease location.

What is the right coverage for a gift shop with $500K in annual revenue and $100K in inventory debt?

A practical range is $600K–$1M, combining income replacement ($500K x 1–2 years) plus inventory debt. Actual amounts depend on lease value, partnership structure, and individual circumstances.
