What usually matters
AIA’s 2020 report describes key-person (keyman) life insurance on an essential employee, with the business receiving the benefit. This is a concept, not confirmation of available cover. AIA: key-person and shareholder protection (2020 report)
The same report describes life insurance funding a buy-sell arrangement between business partners. Insurance funding and the separate ownership agreement require distinct review; this page provides no drafting or tax advice. AIA: key-person and shareholder protection (2020 report)
Questions to take to the broker
Is the purpose keyman loss or a partner buyout? Who owns the policy, pays premiums and receives a claim? Which events trigger the policy and the separate agreement? What company, relationship, valuation and consent evidence is required? Case-specific limits and acceptance are not publicly disclosed in the cited report; ask the insurer. Obtain independent legal and tax advice; no deduction or legal outcome is asserted here.
