As a business owner, you know that your employees are an important asset of your business. Each business has individuals with specialized skills, knowledge, and valuable customer relationships that are critical to its success. If your business relies heavily on key employees, it may suffer tremendously without those individuals and it may be a good idea to think about investing in key person life insurance.
