Frequently Asked Questions
Why is key person insurance important for cannabis testing labs?
Laboratory certifications and state licenses often depend on specific credentialed individuals. Key person insurance on laboratory directors ensures resources are available to recruit qualified replacements and maintain certification if a key scientist passes away.
How can testing labs retain qualified scientists?
Executive bonus plans funded by cash value life insurance provide tax-advantaged benefits that help labs compete for limited qualified talent in the cannabis testing field. These programs create "golden handcuffs" encouraging long-term retention.
