Protect Your Team — And Your Business

Group life insurance is one of the most valued employee benefits you can offer. It provides a tax-free death benefit to an employee’s beneficiaries and gives your team peace of mind knowing their loved ones are protected. As an independent broker, we shop multiple top-rated carriers to design a group life plan that fits your budget and your workforce.

Whether you need basic group term life for all employees, supplemental coverage for key executives, or voluntary AD&D options, we have the right solution for your organization.

Basic Group Term Life

Employer-paid basic term life is the foundation of any group life benefits package. Typically offered as 1x to 2x an employee’s annual salary, this coverage is provided at no cost to the employee and is guaranteed issue during initial enrollment with no medical underwriting required.

The first $50,000 of employer-paid group term life is generally tax-free to employees, making it a highly efficient benefit for both the employer and the team.

Supplemental & Voluntary Life

Employees who need more than the basic coverage can purchase additional term life insurance through payroll deduction. Supplemental life typically allows employees to elect up to 5x or more of their annual salary, often with simplified underwriting and competitive group rates.

Voluntary AD&D (Accidental Death & Dismemberment) provides an additional layer of protection for accidents — covering loss of life, limbs, or sight due to accidental injury. This low-cost benefit is a popular add-on that employees appreciate.

Key Person Life Insurance

Your business relies on key employees — the people whose knowledge, relationships, and leadership drive your success. Key person life insurance is a policy the business owns on a key employee’s life. If that employee passes away, the business receives the death benefit tax-free, providing financial stability during the transition period.

Key person coverage can be used to:

  • Fund a search for a replacement — recruitment, hiring, and training costs
  • Offset lost revenue — while the business adjusts to the loss
  • Reassure creditors and investors — showing the business is protected
  • Fund a buy-sell agreement — ensuring a smooth ownership transition

We help you identify which employees are truly key to your operations and design appropriate coverage amounts based on their role and revenue impact.

Portability & Conversion Rights

One common concern employees have about group life insurance is what happens if they leave the company. Most group term life policies include portability and conversion options that allow departing employees to take their coverage with them.

  • Portability: Employees can continue the same group term coverage at the group rate by paying premiums directly.
  • Conversion: Employees can convert their group term policy to an individual permanent life policy without medical underwriting.

We help you communicate these valuable features to your team so they understand the full value of their benefits package.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much group life insurance should my business offer?
Most businesses start with 1x the employee’s annual salary as the employer-paid base, then offer supplemental coverage up to 3x–5x salary as a voluntary option. We’ll help you benchmark against similar businesses in your industry to design a competitive package.
Can employees be denied group life coverage?
Basic group term life is typically guaranteed issue during initial enrollment — no medical questions or exams required. Supplemental and higher coverage amounts may require simplified underwriting, but most employees qualify at standard rates. Late enrollees may need full medical underwriting.
Is group life insurance tax-deductible for my business?
Yes, employer-paid premiums for group term life insurance are generally tax-deductible as a business expense. The first $50,000 of coverage per employee is tax-free to the employee. Amounts above $50,000 may result in imputed income reported on the employee’s W-2. We can help you structure the plan for maximum tax efficiency.
