Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What coverage amount is appropriate for a 3D printing company with $300K in equipment debt?

Equipment debt should be included in the total coverage calculation alongside income replacement and business relationship value. A company with $1M in annual revenue and $300K in equipment debt might consider illustrative coverage in the $1.3M–$2M range.

Are 3D printing technicians considered a specialized occupation for insurance purposes?

3D printing operation is classified as a technology and manufacturing occupation. Personal health history is the primary underwriting consideration. Technicians typically qualify for standard rates unless they work with hazardous materials that affect medical underwriting.

How do 3D printing co-founders structure buy-sell agreements?

A cross-purchase buy-sell agreement funded by life insurance on each co-founder is the most common approach for small technology manufacturers. Annual valuation updates are important as equipment and revenue grow.
