Business Owners
As a business owner, your responsibilities extend beyond yourself — you’re protecting your family, your employees, and the company you’ve built. While you focus on growth and operations, WAIN helps ensure your business has the right insurance foundation to withstand the unexpected.
Traditional insurance often leaves business owners under-protected, especially when it comes to succession planning, income replacement, and employee benefits. WAIN specializes in filling those gaps with tailored coverage solutions.
Why It’s Important?
Over 40% of small businesses would close permanently if the owner passed away unexpectedly (NFIB).
70% of businesses don’t survive the transition to the second generation, often due to lack of planning (Harvard Business Review).
Most group disability and life plans offered through employers cap benefits at low amounts that don’t reflect ownership or executive-level earnings.
The right coverage ensures that your family, partners, and employees are protected — and that the business you’ve built can continue to thrive.
