Before acquiring a business, professionals must first do some background study on the business entity. Risk assessment is one way to learn about a business, to see what potential risks exist and how susceptible the business is to them. The term "Key Person risk" tops the list of risk assessments. This key individual is someone whose presence is absolutely necessary to the business.

Cindy Fields, the CEO, and founder of Loyalty Alliance is our guest on this episode. She talks about how a company's "Key Person" influences the entire business entity. She also mentioned the people who are referred to as the company's key personnel and how businesses have been purchasing Key Person Insurance to reduce the chance of failure during acquisitions.

Quotes

"Key person insurance is defined as insurance for an individual at the company. It's an individual whose job is so pivotal to the company that if something happens to them, the company will be greatly affected." - Cindy

"I love key person insurance because I love protecting the companies, helping companies grow, talking to the CEOs about their companies and knowing them, and making sure they have the right protective mechanisms in place to achieve what's important to them." - Cindy
