Definition of "Wholesale life insurance"
Bethany Marinac, Real Estate Agent
EXIT Real Estate Professionals Network
Variation of group life insurance that covers a small group of persons who work for the same employer. With group life insurance, the employer owns the policy; with wholesale insurance, each employee applies for and owns his or her own policy. However, the employer must agree to pay at least part of wholesale life insurance premiums for the group to qualify for wholesale insurance. Wholesale insurance was devised for groups as small as 10 persons when group insurance was limited by law to a minimum of 50 members. Today, group insurance is sold to smaller groups and wholesale insurance is written for groups as small as five persons.
