Frequently Asked Questions
Do smoke shop owners face any special underwriting considerations due to their products?
The products sold do not directly affect the business owner's underwriting. However, personal tobacco or nicotine use by the applicant is a significant underwriting factor — tobacco users typically pay higher premiums. Disclosure of personal tobacco use is required.
Can smoke shop co-owners use life insurance for a buy-sell agreement?
Yes. Standard life insurance can fund buy-sell agreements for smoke and CBD retail businesses. The business must demonstrate an insurable interest in the key person, which is straightforward for co-owners.
How much life insurance does a smoke shop owner earning $70,000 net need?
A guideline of 10x annual income suggests $700K. Adjust for personal debt, dependents, and business obligations. Non-tobacco-using owners typically qualify for standard rates.
