You left a secure job with a good salary and invested your savings into your business. And your family is right behind you, as your biggest cheerleaders. But they still depend on you financially.
You also worry about your children’s education. You hope that your business succeeds so you will be able to afford it when the time comes. Unless the unexpected happens. What then?
Life insurance isn’t for you. It’s for them.
Your company might fail without you. So your investors might insist on buying a key-person insurance for you. If anything were to happen to you, your company can use the insurance proceeds to tide over the business while they find your successor.
Get a life insurance policy for yourself and then assign it to your company.
Once you have investors in your venture, convince them to pay you a decent salary. Doing this benefits them because then you can focus on making the business succeed instead of worrying about your personal finances.
Hopefully, with this close-to-market salary, you can apportion a significant proportion of it towards savings and investments that you can build over time. This way, you get to mitigate your risky entrepreneurial journey with a solid savings and investment plan.
