A key man can be a senior director or executive but also an employee with a unique or essential knowledge (or know-how). Key man insurance provides the company with financial security in case of death or disability of the key man. Temporary disability may also be covered.

As a rule, the company is the policy holder and the beneficiary of the insurance amount. The key man is the insured.

It is useful to know that these policies can be used to back up professional loans or corporate loans, the beneficiary being in this case the lender. In France, the premium is tax deductible on a yearly basis.
