A disabling illness or injury can keep your client from working for weeks, maybe months.
But it doesn’t have to disable their business. With a Disability Overhead Expense insurance plan, your client will have peace of mind in knowing that their business expenses will be provided for while they tend to the business of getting well. During a period of total or partial disability, the plan would reimburse them for the customary expenses up to the limits stated in the policy, of operating a business away from their home.
There are many business and financial considerations that need to be addressed upon the disability of a principal. Since that person is still alive and not eligible to begin collecting retirement funds, he certainly would need some money to live on. He has an equity interest in the business and would need access to that. A disabled individual that can no longer contribute to the business can be quite a burden on the remaining partners. Both parties need to affect a transfer of ownership whereby the disabled individual can receive compensation for his equity interest and remaining owners would have full control of ownership rights. It also reduces the burden of dealing with the disabled partners, significant other, or family
