Protecting a demanding career and the people who depend on you

Clinical income can depend on your ability to work, while professional corporations, practice obligations and family commitments create additional decisions. A review should consider what happens if illness, disability or death interrupts income or practice operations.

  • Income protection: Review disability and critical illness coverage, definitions, waiting periods and how benefits interact with existing plans.
  • Practice and corporation: Explore business overhead protection, ownership of life insurance and how coverage may support obligations to lenders or partners.
  • Long-term planning: Coordinate retirement, estate liquidity and corporate surplus discussions with accountants, lawyers and investment specialists.

Illustrative situation: A dentist buying into a practice might want to review personal disability coverage, practice overhead obligations and any shareholder agreement before selecting coverage.

Protecting the business you have built

A business may rely on a few essential people, concentrated ownership and cash flow that is not easily replaced. Insurance and succession decisions should reflect actual business obligations rather than a generic coverage target.

  • Business continuity: Consider key-person risk, outstanding debt and the financial effect of losing an owner or critical employee.
  • Shareholder planning: Review how buy-sell agreements are intended to operate and whether insurance funding aligns with legal documents.
  • Ownership transitions: Coordinate succession, estate liquidity and exit planning with tax and legal advisers.

Illustrative situation: Two shareholders may need to assess whether a buy-sell arrangement has sufficient, appropriately owned funding if either partner dies.

Coordinating personal and corporate priorities

Incorporation can create choices about how to fund protection, retain assets and prepare for retirement. The right approach depends on cash flow, ownership, family circumstances and the advice of your broader professional team.

  • Personal and corporate coverage: Assess what risks belong to you personally and which obligations sit with the corporation.
  • Retirement considerations: Explore the role of registered plans, pensions and insurance-based strategies alongside qualified retirement and investment advice.
  • Estate coordination: Discuss beneficiary designations, corporate ownership and potential liquidity needs with legal and tax advisers.

Illustrative situation: An incorporated consultant approaching retirement may benefit from comparing insurance needs and liquidity constraints before considering a complex corporate strategy.

Common Questions

Questions we often discuss

Do I need to be incorporated?

No. Personal protection planning can be relevant whether you are an employee, self-employed or incorporated. Corporate strategies are considered only when appropriate.

Can you review coverage I already have?

Yes. An initial discussion can focus on existing policies, employer or association benefits and potential gaps, subject to access to relevant policy information.

Will you work with my accountant or lawyer?

Where useful and with your permission, we can coordinate insurance-related considerations with your existing professional advisers.
