Frequently Asked Questions
How do multi-unit owners structure life insurance across locations?
Most multi-unit operators use portfolio-level coverage through their holding company, with amounts reflecting total enterprise value rather than individual location coverage.
What estate planning considerations apply to multi-unit franchise owners?
High-value franchise portfolios may trigger estate taxes. Life insurance provides liquidity for taxes without forcing franchise sales, and can equalize inheritances among heirs.
How do development agreements affect insurance needs?
Development agreements obligate owners to open future locations. Life insurance can protect these commitments, providing funds to fulfill obligations or negotiate releases.
What key person coverage do multi-unit operators need?
Coverage typically focuses on portfolio executives whose expertise spans multiple locations—regional managers, operations directors, and the principal owner whose relationships drive franchise approval.
