Frequently Asked Questions
How do game studios value their creative director for key person insurance?
The creative director's contribution is valued based on the studio's revenue and the director's proportional role in product success. For hit-driven game studios, coverage may reflect the projected revenue impact of a game in development that the director is leading.
Are game developers considered low-risk for life insurance underwriting?
Yes. Game development is a sedentary, technology-focused profession. Personal health history is the primary underwriting consideration. Developers typically qualify for preferred or standard rates.
Can a game studio use life insurance to fund a buy-sell agreement even if the company has no current revenue?
Buy-sell agreements and key person coverage require an insurable interest and ideally a current business valuation. Early-stage studios may find it challenging to justify large coverage amounts without revenue, but coverage sized to reflect investment at risk and co-founder obligations is still available.
