March is Insurance Month at the Shasta-Cascade SBDC!

Many small business owners don’t realize that a complete, well-thought out life insurance plan is one of the keys to managing a successful company. And we’re not just referring to death benefits to families and loved ones. Business owners may need to plan for how the loss of a partner or an employee may affect the company. When does it make sense to have a buy/sell agreement in place and when do you need a key person policy? How can life insurance help with employee retention as well as company stability?

On March 1st, we will be joined by experienced insurance agent Harrison Payne to discuss some of these available coverages, how they can help and what small business owners need to consider to determine what may or may not be appropriate for their situation.

Instructor: Harrison Payne, senior life insurance representative at Kyle Vowell Farmers Insurance Agency.

Harrison has been a local to the Shasta county area for over 17 years. He is deeply involved in the local community and is a part of several local groups such as Business Networking International, Redding Chamber of Commerce, the Shasta Board of Realtors Affiliate Committee, and the Young Professionals Network Planning Committee. He is also involved in 2 start-up businesses in the cryptocurrency and software industries and has owned 2 other businesses in the past.

Known as The Sun King, Louis XIV (Pierce Brosnan) is the most powerful and influential monarch on the planet. Obsessed with his own mortality and the future of France, Louis turns to his spiritual advisor, Père La Chaise (William Hurt), and the royal physician to help him obtain the key to immortality. Believing a mermaid (Fan Bingbing) contains a force that grants everlasting life, Louis commissions a young sea captain to search the seas and capture the mystical creature. Further complicating his plans is his orphaned daughter, Marie-Josèphe (Kaya Scodelario), who returns to court with an abundance of elegance and an inherent defiance of authority. With a rare solar eclipse approaching, Louis will discover where his daughter’s true loyalties lie as he races against time to extract the mermaid’s life-giving force.
