Executive Benefits in Utah

Utah's competitive business environment — especially along the Silicon Slopes corridor — means top executives have options. Executive benefits go beyond salary to create 'golden handcuffs' that keep your best people invested in your company long-term. Key person insurance is critical for any business where one or two individuals drive the majority of revenue, relationships, or intellectual property. We work with business owners and their attorneys and CPAs to design executive benefit strategies that align with their overall business and tax planning.

Common Questions

It's life and/or disability insurance on a critical employee or owner. The business owns the policy and receives the payout, which helps cover the financial loss of losing that person.

A common formula is 5–10x the person's annual compensation, or enough to cover projected revenue loss, recruiting costs, and debt obligations.

It allows executives to defer income beyond 401(k) limits. The deferred amounts grow tax-deferred until withdrawal, typically at retirement.

Each owner takes out a life/disability policy on the other owners. If an owner dies or becomes disabled, the insurance funds the purchase of their share — ensuring smooth transitions and fair value for all parties.
