Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to an FFL when the owner dies?
The FFL is tied to the individual or entity. Upon death, the estate has limited time to transfer inventory to another FFL or apply for a new license. Life insurance provides funds for orderly transitions.
How much coverage do gun store owners need?
Coverage should include inventory value (often $200K-2M), business debt, and transition costs. FFL holders should also consider key person coverage equal to 1-2 years of revenue.
Can life insurance help with FFL succession planning?
Yes. Life insurance provides liquidity to maintain operations during the 60-90 day FFL transfer process, pay for compliance consulting, and fund inventory purchases for a successor.
