Frequently Asked Questions
Why is key person insurance critical for general contractors?
Contractor licenses and bonding are often tied to specific individuals. If a key licensed principal passes away, the company may lose its ability to bid on projects, affecting ongoing contracts and future revenue.
How does life insurance help with construction company succession?
Life insurance provides immediate liquidity for buy-sell agreements, ensuring surviving partners can purchase a deceased owner's share without disrupting active projects or selling equipment.
What coverage amount do general contractors typically need?
Coverage typically ranges from 3-5x annual revenue or the value of active project backlogs, plus outstanding equipment debt—often $2-10 million for established firms.
