INSURANCE SUPPORT FOR BUSINESS MANAGERS

INSURANCE COORDINATION FOR BUSINESS MANAGERS SERVING PUBLIC-FACING CLIENTS

Kelly Insurance Group provides specialist insurance coordination support for business managers whose clients are high-income entertainers, athletes, public figures, and creators — personal insurance program management, business insurance for client entities, contract insurance requirement support, and the coordinated advisory team approach that business managers need from a specialist insurance partner who understands the entertainment and creator space.

A SPECIALIST INSURANCE PARTNER FOR THE FULL CLIENT FINANCIAL PICTURE.
BUSINESS MANAGERS MANAGE EVERY DIMENSION OF CLIENT FINANCES — INCLUDING INSURANCEA business manager for an entertainer, athlete, or public figure manages the client's complete financial picture — income, expenses, taxes, investments, and the insurance program that protects all of it. Having a specialist insurance partner who understands the entertainment space and communicates at the advisor level is part of building a complete financial management infrastructure.
PERSONAL AND BUSINESS INSURANCE MUST BE COORDINATEDA high-income client whose personal umbrella, home insurance, and collections coverage are managed separately from their business entity insurance has gaps at the seams between those programs. Business managers who coordinate both programs through one specialist insurance partner eliminate those gaps.
CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS ARE AN ONGOING BUSINESS MANAGEMENT TASKBrand deals, production agreements, licensing contracts, and real estate transactions all contain insurance requirements that the business manager encounters as a matter of course. A specialist insurance partner who responds quickly to these requirements — with fast certificate issuance and expert review of what coverage is needed — reduces the friction in deal execution.
THE BUSINESS MANAGER'S CLIENTS NEED PRIVATE CLIENT-LEVEL INSURANCEHigh-income entertainers and athletes are high-net-worth individuals whose personal insurance needs are as complex and high-stakes as their business insurance needs. A business manager who ensures the personal insurance program is comprehensive and current is providing risk management value that goes beyond basic financial management.
INSURANCE SUPPORT FOR BUSINESS MANAGERS

HOW KELLY INSURANCE GROUP SERVES AS THE INSURANCE PARTNER FOR BUSINESS MANAGERS AND THEIR HIGH-INCOME CLIENTS.

01
THE BUSINESS MANAGER'S INSURANCE ROLE

Business managers for high-income clients typically have some role in the client's insurance program — paying insurance premiums from the client's accounts, coordinating with the client's agent on renewals, or managing the certificate of insurance process for business contracts. The business manager who also ensures that the insurance program is properly structured for the client's current financial profile — and who has a specialist insurance partner to call when complex situations arise — is providing a higher level of service.

02
PERSONAL INSURANCE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT FOR HIGH-INCOME CLIENTS

A business manager overseeing the complete financial picture for a high-income client should have visibility into whether the personal insurance program is adequate. Is the umbrella sized to the client's current net worth? Are all properties insured at current replacement cost? Are agreed values on vehicles and collections current? Is there personal cyber coverage for a client with a large public profile? These are financial risk questions that belong in the business management review.

03
BUSINESS INSURANCE FOR CLIENT ENTITIES

Entertainment clients often operate through multiple business entities — production companies, merchandise brands, publishing entities, and holding companies. Each entity needs appropriate commercial insurance. The business manager who oversees these entities has visibility into when new entities are formed, when business activities change, and when existing coverage may be inadequate for the entity's current operations.

04
CONTRACT INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS — THE BUSINESS MANAGEMENT DIMENSION

A business manager reviewing contracts on behalf of a high-income client will encounter insurance requirements across a wide range of deal types. Understanding what those requirements mean — what coverage is needed, how quickly it can be placed, and what a certificate of insurance actually shows — is practical knowledge for any business manager handling client contracts.

05
ADVISORY TEAM COORDINATION — INSURANCE AS PART OF THE FINANCIAL TEAM

A business manager operating within a coordinated advisory team alongside a publicist, attorney, financial advisor, and accountant needs an insurance partner who communicates professionally, responds quickly, and fits into the team model. Kelly Insurance Group provides advisory-level insurance support — communicating with the business manager's team, providing clear answers to insurance questions, and escalating issues that require the client's direct attention.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING

FOUR INSURANCE SITUATIONS BUSINESS MANAGERS HANDLE ON BEHALF OF CLIENTS.

!
UMBRELLA LIMIT NOT UPDATED AS CLIENT'S NET WORTH GREW

A client who earned $300,000 three years ago and now has a $15 million net worth with a $1 million umbrella is significantly underinsured. The business manager who manages the client's financial picture has the information to identify this gap — and the relationship to address it.

!
NEW LLC FORMED FOR CLIENT BUSINESS — NO COMMERCIAL INSURANCE IN PLACE

A new business entity formed to hold the client's production company, merchandise brand, or other business venture has no commercial insurance until coverage is placed. The business manager overseeing entity formation is in the best position to trigger the commercial insurance placement.

!
CONTRACT REQUIRES WORKERS COMPENSATION — CLIENT HAS NO TOURING CREW COVERAGE

A production or venue contract requiring workers compensation for crew and staff cannot be satisfied if the client's tour entity has no workers compensation. The business manager reviewing the contract is the first to see this requirement.

!
CLIENT'S COLLECTIONS WERE NOT UPDATED AFTER A MAJOR PURCHASE

A client who purchased a $250,000 watch without notifying the insurance program has an uninsured asset. The business manager tracking client expenditures may be the first to see that a significant purchase has been made without a corresponding insurance update.

COMMON QUESTIONS

QUESTIONS ADVISORS OFTEN ASK.

What role does a business manager typically play in a client's insurance program?

Business managers for high-income clients often manage insurance premium payments, coordinate with the client's agent on renewals, and handle contract insurance requirements as part of their financial management role. A business manager who also ensures the program is properly structured for the client's current financial profile — and who has a specialist insurance partner for complex situations — is providing a higher level of service.

Can a business manager coordinate insurance alongside the client's other advisors?

Yes. Kelly Insurance Group is designed to fit into the advisory team model — communicating with the business manager's team, providing clear answers to insurance questions, and coordinating with attorneys and financial advisors on situations that touch multiple advisory relationships.

Does a client's personal umbrella affect their business activities?

Personal umbrellas are designed for personal liability — they typically exclude business activities. A client whose business activities create liability exposure needs commercial liability coverage for those activities. Confirming that the umbrella and the business insurance are properly structured — with no gap and no overlap — is a standard insurance coordination item.

How quickly can coverage be placed for a new business entity?

Standard commercial general liability coverage for most business entity types can be placed within one to two business days. More complex coverage — specialty entertainment, workers compensation, professional liability — may take longer. Contact Kelly Insurance Group with the entity's business description and coverage need as early as possible.

What should a business manager do when a client makes a major purchase?

Notify the insurance program immediately — before the item leaves the seller or before a vehicle is driven. A major jewelry purchase, a new vehicle, a new property, or a significant art acquisition should trigger an insurance update. The business manager who coordinates client expenditures is in the best position to trigger these updates.

How does business insurance coordination fit into the annual financial management review?

Insurance should be a standard component of the annual financial management review — confirming that the program is current, adequate, and coordinated with the client's current financial profile. Kelly Insurance Group can participate in or support this review as part of the business management engagement.
