Unique Term Insurance Solutions
In this evolving world of social distancing and government health mandates, the long shadow of the Coronavirus has definitely taken a toll on American businesses and financial sectors over the last couple of years. The life insurance industry has also been affected as forecast experts are seeing a continued general hardening trend among financial services businesses, including most lines of insurance. The need and desire for proper life insurance is more prevalent than ever, but the underwriting requirements and policy issuance logistics have forced many prospective clients away due to COVID-19 protocols and impaired-risk assessments.
Clients that need life insurance are having to forego the purchase of coverage or suffering underwriting decision postponements because of health, build, drug or alcohol concerns. There is a great desire and need for solutions for hard-to-place life cases.
Petersen International has just the solution for your business term cases. Failure to Survive (FTS) insurance is a simplified-issue, “no contact” term product that provides a death benefit for third-party business applications. Its main purpose is to address buy/sell or business loan situations where there is a financial obligation to indemnify a contract upon the death of an individual. It is also commonly used to insure marquee employees or business owners with a straightforward key person benefit chassis. The product can be designed to also address the insurance requirements for divorce decrees and court orders.
The magic of the FTS product is that it can be underwritten very quickly without any exams or lab requirements. The average turnaround time from receipt of application to the binding of coverage can be as little as three to five business days. Underwriters offer simplified issuance of the coverage without cumbersome requirements like time-consuming and sometimes intimidating physical exams and lab work.
The quick underwriting period allows policy owners to meet the strict and time-sensitive deadlines mandated by lending institutions on loan agreements. An FTS policy can also be extremely useful when traditional term insurance underwriting is holding-up a business deal relying upon the financial indemnification of a corporate buy/sell agreement or private equity arrangement.
FTS underwriting is also more liberal than that of traditional term carriers, making FTS coverage the obvious solution for impaired risk cases and those that have been previously declined by the regular market for adverse medical histories or drug and alcohol issues.
Another evolution to the Petersen International FTS product line is that the program is now available to persons directly or indirectly working in the rapidly-expanding legal cannabis industry, no matter the business need.
Failure to Survive insurance is so flexible and adaptive with countless impactful uses in the market today. It can help you save cases that you otherwise thought were dead in the water or at the very least faltering because your clients don’t qualify for traditional life solutions or are needing an immediate solution. FTS coverage is a great everyday tool to counter the pervasive complications encountered in the U.S. life/health market.
