Founder-Led Startups

Employer-Employee schemes are particularly useful for businesses looking to retain senior talent through a structured, tax-efficient benefit rather than a straightforward salary increase.

Why Choose Beyond Insurance

We design both Keyman and Employer-Employee arrangements to be efficient and genuinely useful.

Right Sum Assured

We calculate cover based on the employee's actual contribution to revenue or profit.

Compliant Structuring

Every scheme we design is fully IRDAI-compliant on both employer and employee sides.

Tax Efficiency

We structure the scheme to capture the tax benefits available to both parties.

More Than Paperwork

We build a scheme that delivers real protection and retention value, not just a policy document.

Frequently Asked Questions

The company typically owns the Keyman policy and is the beneficiary — the payout goes to the business, not the employee's family, to help absorb the financial disruption of losing that individual.

It's usually linked to the employee's contribution to revenue or profit, along with the cost of finding and training a suitable replacement.

Keyman insurance protects the business financially if a key employee dies or is disabled. An Employer-Employee scheme uses life insurance more broadly as a retention and reward tool, with tax advantages for both employer and employee.
