APB Financial Architect Independent Insurance Specialist Book Free Diagnostic
Business Owners · New Jersey

NJ businesses lose millions every year because there was no succession plan.

Key-person coverage and buy-sell funding for New Jersey business owners. A 30-minute diagnostic shows what your business is missing.

The gap nobody talks about

New Jersey's small business community is exposed — and most don't know it

New Jersey has over 900,000 small businesses. Most of them are owned by people who've spent decades building something real. A surprising number have no funded succession plan, no key-person coverage, and no buy-sell agreement backing up the partnership.

🤝

NJ partnerships dissolve when partners do

Under NJ business law, the death of a partner can trigger a forced dissolution unless the partnership agreement explicitly addresses it — and the agreement is funded with the capital to execute the buyout.

👤

Your best employee may be your biggest unhedged risk

The sales manager who drives 40% of your revenue. The operations lead who keeps the whole thing running. If that person disappears tomorrow, what's the financial impact? Key-person coverage puts a number on that risk and hedges it.

🏦

NJ SBA lenders increasingly require key-person coverage

If you have an SBA loan or are applying for one, expect questions about key-person insurance. Lenders want confirmation that the business can continue — and repay the loan — if the owner is incapacitated.

Common questions

NJ business owner questions about key-person and buy-sell coverage

Personal life insurance protects your family — it pays to your beneficiaries. Key-person insurance protects the business — it pays to the company. Most business owners need both: a personal policy to protect their family and a business policy to protect the company they own.
Key-person insurance is most straightforward for multi-owner businesses. A sole proprietor with employees might carry key-person coverage on critical employees, while also ensuring their personal life insurance provides for business succession. We work through the specific structure in the diagnostic.
The face amount of a buy-sell funding policy should match the agreed buyout value of each partner's ownership share. Business valuation methods include book value, multiple of earnings, or a fixed amount agreed in the buy-sell agreement. We help you pick a methodology that's defensible and appropriate for your industry.
New Jersey follows the standard rules for business-owned life insurance — the business must have an insurable interest in the insured (typically met for owners and key employees), and the insured must consent to coverage. We ensure the policy and agreement structure meets NJ requirements.
