In this episode of The Broker Link Podcast, Chris Newberry and Cristal Bustillos break down essential business insurance strategies every advisor should understand — and every business owner should implement.

The conversation centers on key person insurance and buy-sell agreements, two critical tools for protecting business continuity. Key person insurance provides financial stability to a company if a vital employee or owner passes away, helping offset lost revenue and operational disruption. Buy-sell agreements, when properly funded with life insurance, ensure smooth ownership transitions and protect both partners and families from financial uncertainty.

Chris and Cristal emphasize the importance of proactive planning and discuss how complementary business valuations help owners understand their true exposure and funding needs.

They also explore worksite marketing opportunities, available to businesses with as few as 15 employees. With guaranteed issue options and portable coverage, these policies offer meaningful benefits to employees and their families — while creating strong revenue opportunities for agents.

Additionally, the episode covers disability insurance, including income protection and business overhead expense coverage — critical safeguards that protect both personal paychecks and company operations.

Whether you're advising business owners or looking to grow your book of business, this episode highlights why business insurance planning is not only essential for clients, but also a highly profitable line of coverage for agents.
