Frequently Asked Questions About Life Insurance
What types of life insurance are best for contractors?
Term life insurance is popular for income replacement and mortgage protection, while permanent life insurance (whole life or universal life) offers cash value accumulation and business planning benefits. Many contractors benefit from a combination of both.
How much life insurance do contractors typically need?
Most contractors need 5-10 times their annual income in life insurance coverage. This should cover outstanding debts, business obligations, family living expenses, and future financial goals like children's education.
Can life insurance help with business succession planning?
Yes, life insurance is essential for business succession planning. It can fund buy-sell agreements, provide key person coverage, and ensure business continuity if an owner or key employee passes away.
Are there special considerations for high-risk construction work?
Some insurers may charge higher premiums for contractors in high-risk trades. However, we work with carriers who understand the construction industry and offer competitive rates for contractors with good safety records.
Can I use life insurance for retirement planning?
Permanent life insurance policies build cash value that can supplement retirement income. The cash value grows tax-deferred and can be accessed through loans or withdrawals during your lifetime.
How quickly can I get life insurance coverage?
Term life insurance can often be approved within days with simplified underwriting. Some policies offer instant approval for qualifying applicants. Permanent life insurance may take 2-4 weeks for full underwriting.
