Life Insurance and Planning

Who will take care of your family and obligations when you die? Where will your funeral expense money come from? Who will make up for your contributions to a church or charity when they stop due to your death? How will your key employee be able to buy your business from your family without financial hardship?

Life insurance is the answer to these and many other financial issues. It is still one of the best bargains in insurance. We have a wide variety of companies to choose from. If you have had health problems that may cause your qualification for insurance to be more difficult, we have the markets and experience to get you the best offer. Don't believe that answering a questionnaire on the Internet will yield the lowest rate. The fact is, there is still no substitute for discussion by an experienced agent with you and the insurance company underwriter. We can help you decide on the right type of life insurance policy and make important financial plans for your situation.

In choosing the type of life insurance policy you purchase, consideration must be given to the need which is being filled; e.g., funding retirement needs, creation of an estate, payment of estate settlement costs (federal and state death taxes, last illness and burial costs, probate fees, etc.), business buyout, key-man coverage, etc.

Pension Plans for Business

Competition for qualified employees has become a major concern for companies, large and small. Benefit programs may mean the difference between hiring or keeping a good employee and losing them to the competition.

The 401K plan has become very popular for corporate retirement benefits, but it is not for every company. There are several other options that can be explored for the small business, such as the Simple IRA. Simple IRAs have the general appearance of the 401K without the high administrative costs.
