Who is a Key Person?

A keyperson is typically defined as someone who is crucial to the financial success of a company. Although hard to define, it can be the business owner/ founder; someone who integrates the company strategy, or even the top salesman at the company. A key person is any individual deemed to be critical a business. 

The typical roles covered in Lutine’s Group Life keyperson schemes are Owner/Founder, IT Manager, Operations Manager, CEO, the list goes on. Every business is unique, so consider what individuals are integral to your business's success.
