Running a business is full of challenges—some you can anticipate, and others that come out of nowhere. That’s why smart business owners don’t just focus on growth—they also protect what they’ve built. Whether you’re a startup, small business, or a growing company, these three programs can help you reduce risk, take care of your team, and strengthen your foundation.

1. Aflac Supplemental Insurance – Peace of Mind for Your Team

Unexpected health events—like accidents, serious illnesses, or hospital stays—can put financial strain on your employees and affect your operations. Aflac’s supplemental insurance pays cash directly to employees when covered events happen, giving them the financial cushion they need to recover without stress.

Why It Matters for Your Business:

  • Zero or low cost to you as the employer

  • Increases employee retention and satisfaction

  • Attracts quality talent with valuable, flexible benefits

  • Supports your team when life hits unexpectedly

Aflac policies cover areas like accident, cancer, critical illness, hospital stays, and short-term disability—providing crucial financial protection beyond what major medical plans offer.

2. The Champ Plan – Boost Benefits While Saving on Payroll Taxes

The Champ Plan is a revolutionary approach that helps employers offer enhanced benefits while creating savings on payroll taxes—for both you and your employees. It works by using pre-tax dollars to pay for everyday medical expenses and supplemental insurance, providing more take-home pay and lowering taxable income.

What It Does:

  • Provides employees with access to a concierge care team, mental health support, and savings on prescriptions and labs

  • Saves you money in payroll taxes

  • Helps you offer big-company benefits even as a smaller business

  • Boosts morale and recruitment with a value-packed benefit that employees can see in their paycheck

The Champ Plan is ideal for employers looking to retain talent, improve employee wellness, and reduce costs—all without increasing salaries.

3. Index Universal Life (IUL) Insurance – Financial Protection with Living Benefits

While most people view life insurance as only a death benefit, Index Universal Life (IUL) insurance is also a powerful wealth-building tool. It offers tax-advantaged growth, flexible premiums, and the ability to access cash value while still living.

Why It’s a Game-Changer:

  • Provides income protection for your family or business if something happens to you

  • Builds cash value over time you can borrow against tax-free

  • Can be used for retirement income, emergencies, or future business needs

  • Offers protection with upside growth potential tied to market indexes (but without market loss)

For business owners, an IUL policy can serve as both a key-person insurance strategy and a retirement planning vehicle.

Final Thoughts

Protecting your business isn’t just about locking doors or securing data—it’s about shielding yourself, your team, and your future from the unexpected. By combining Aflac supplemental insurance, the Champ Plan, and Index Universal Life insurance, you’re not only safeguarding your people—you’re setting your business up for long-term resilience and success.
