4 First Priority: Business Protection One out of three business owners (30 percent) has a protection plan in place in case of death, disability or termination of key employees. The most common form of protection offered is key person life insurance (23%). In 2010, significantly more business owners have Key Person Life Insurance.
5 Second Priority: Group Health Benefits Fewer than half of business owners (42 percent) offer comprehensive health insurance to their employees 29 percent of firms with two to nine employees offer health insurance as opposed to 80 percent of firms with 200 to 499 employees Health insurance costs have risen 129 percent in the last 10 years. Health premiums have risen almost five times as much as the overall rate of inflation since 2003* *Employers, Workers, and the Future of Employment-Based Health Benefits. EBRI Issue Brief #339. February 2010
6 Third Priority: Income Protection Only one-quarter (24 percent) of business owners have individual disability insurance plans for themselves
7 Fourth Priority: Qualified Retirement Plans Four of ten business owners (39 percent) offer qualified retirement plans to their employees Most commonly offered retirement plan is a 401(k) plan (23 percent), followed by profit sharing (8 percent), SIMPLE (6 percent), and SEP (4 percent) Larger companies are significantly more likely to offer a 401 (k) plan to their employees 200 to 499 employees 79% 10 to 49 employees 28%
8 Fifth Priority: Group Non-Medical Benefits More than half of business owners surveyed (54 percent) do not offer any group non-medical benefits Dental and life insurance are the most commonly offered nonmedical benefits. Both are offered by more than one quarter (26 percent) of business owners. Supplemental disability programs are offered by 11 percent of business owners. About half of business owners (53 percent) pay the entire premium
9 Sixth Priority: Supplemental Retirement Plans Only 14 percent of business owners offer some type of supplemental retirement plans for themselves or their key employees. Nearly two-thirds of business owners (64 percent) indicate they or their key employees are limited in the amount they are allowed to contribute to qualified retirement plans
10 Seventh Priority: Voluntary Benefits Most commonly offered voluntary benefits, in order of frequency, include dental, life, accident, long-term disability, and cancer insurance Among business owners who offer voluntary benefits, most (52 percent) say they offer them to attract and retain employees; 48 percent say they do so to improve worker morale or satisfaction
11 Eighth Priority: Wealth Transfer 66 percent of business owners have some type of plan in place for wealth transfer. Almost half of all business owners (47 percent) have a will in place 15 percent of business owners possess a family trust 8 percent of business owners possess an irrevocable life insurance trust
12 Ninth Priority: Survivor Income 70 percent of business owners have life insurance while LIMRA research shows that 56 percent of individuals with incomes of $100,000 and more* have life insurance Of all U.S. households, slightly more than four in ten (44 percent) have life insurance *Employers, Workers, and the Future of Employment-Based Health Benefits. EBRI Issue Brief #339. February 2010 **2010 LIMRA 2010 Life Ownership Study
13 Tenth Priority: Exit Planning Only one-quarter (27 percent) of business owners have an exit plan, leaving the vast majority of business owners without a plan to leave their business Only two in ten business owners (18 percent) have funded a buy-sell plan with life insurance More than six in ten (62 percent) have never had a business valuation Almost a third of business owners (31 percent) do not plan to retire; if they do plan to, three in ten (30 percent) plan to sell their businesses to outside parties
