3 SI 15608PPT (Rev 1/14) When you have business owner customers who share ownership in a business, as part of the owners’ business planning, you can suggest buy/sell insurance as a way to provide equity funding in the event one of them becomes disabled. Why selling disability buy/sell insurance is valuable to you and your customers

4 SI 15608PPT (Rev 1/14) Disability buy/sell insurance coverage is commonly used as a companion to life insurance to fund the transfer of ownership in the event an owner of a small, closely-held business becomes disabled, triggering a buy-out of the owner’s interest in the business. Disability Buy/Sell Insurance

5 SI 15608PPT (Rev 1/14) Funding a buy-out obligation with disability insurance serves dual purposes. It provides 1.a source of funds for the purchase of a disabled owner’s interest in a business 2.a disabled owner with compensation for his or her equity in the business. Disability Buy/Sell Insurance

6 SI 15608PPT (Rev 1/14) A buy/sell agreement is a written agreement between business owners, including the insured, providing for the purchase of an owner’s entire ownership interest in the event of total disability or other contingencies like death or divorce. Buy/Sell Agreements

7 SI 15608PPT (Rev 1/14) The Standard requires that a buy/sell agreement is in force within one year of a buy/sell funding policy-effective date, and remain continuously in force up to the time of total disability. The Standard is not a party to this agreement. Buy/Sell Agreements
