Buy-Sell Agreements Funded by Life Insurance
Ensure a Smooth Ownership Transition — Without Tax Surprises or Cash Flow Disruptions
A Buy-Sell Agreement is one of the most important legal and financial tools a business can have — and funding it with life insurance is the most reliable way to ensure it works exactly when it’s needed most.
Whether you're a co-founder, shareholder, or partner, a properly funded Buy-Sell Agreement helps prevent disputes, protect heirs, and keep your business on track after an owner’s death, disability, or retirement.
🔑 What Is a Buy-Sell Agreement?
A Buy-Sell Agreement is a legal contract that defines how ownership interests will be transferred when a triggering event occurs — typically death, disability, or voluntary exit. Life insurance is used to fund this agreement, ensuring the business has immediate liquidity when it needs it most.
Our team at V-Minds works closely with businesses to develop customized insurance-funded buy-sell agreements. By combining legal expertise with financial protection, we help our clients avoid out-of-pocket buyouts and reduce the risk of disputes.

💡 Why Fund with Life Insurance?
Life insurance ensures liquidity, offers tax advantages, maintains business continuity, and prevents forced asset sales—safeguarding your company’s future when an owner exits unexpectedly.
📝 Types of Buy-Sell Agreements
A buy-sell agreement is a vital part of any business continuity plan. It provides a clear, legally binding strategy for what happens to an owner’s share of the business in the event of death, disability, retirement, or voluntary exit. Without one, surviving owners can face legal disputes, operational disruption, and financial strain.
With the right structure—often funded by life insurance—a buy-sell agreement ensures the business has the liquidity needed to buy out a departing owner’s interest smoothly and tax-efficiently.
