Whether you're just starting a family, managing a business, or looking ahead to retirement, we’re here to help you plan with confidence.
Why Life Insurance? Key Uses
Life insurance isn’t one-size-fits-all. It serves a range of needs at different life stages:
- Income replacement for your family
- Mortgage protection
- Covering final expenses or medical bills
- Funding college or other future goals
- Leaving a legacy or supporting a charity
- Estate planning and tax strategy
- Buy-sell funding or key person coverage for your business
We’ll help you understand how life insurance can support your specific goals—personal or professional—and recommend the right type and amount of coverage.
Individual Life Insurance Solutions
We offer personalized options for individuals and families throughout Michigan, including:
- Term Life Insurance – Affordable coverage for 10, 20, or 30 years. Ideal for young families, mortgage protection, or income replacement.
- Whole Life Insurance – Permanent coverage with fixed premiums and cash value accumulation.
- Final Expense Plans – Designed for seniors who want to cover funeral and medical costs without burdening loved ones.
No matter your age or health status, we’ll walk you through the options and find the best fit. If you’re unsure where to start, we’ll guide you step-by-step through the decision process.
Business & Group Life Insurance
Protecting your business means protecting the people behind it. We help Michigan businesses set up:
- Key Person Insurance to protect against the loss of a vital team member
- Buy-Sell Agreement funding to ensure smooth business succession
- Group Life Insurance for employees, including guaranteed issue options (no medical exam required up to certain limits)
Group policies can be especially valuable for smaller companies in West Michigan that want to compete for talent while offering meaningful benefits. If you’re interested in bundling health and life benefits, we can help you build a smart, affordable package.
Term vs Whole Life – What’s Right for You?
Both term and whole life insurance have their place—your choice depends on your goals:
- Term Life: Low-cost, time-limited coverage for income protection during working years. No cash value.
- Whole Life: Lifetime coverage with guaranteed premiums and a growing cash value you can borrow from later.
Some clients use a
combination—term life for short-term needs and whole life for long-term legacy or final expenses. We’ll help you decide what makes sense for your situation. (You can also check out our “Term vs Whole Life” guide for a deeper dive.)

FAQs About Life Insurance in Michigan
How much life insurance do I need?
That depends on your goals. A good starting point is 5–10 times your annual income, but we’ll help you run the numbers based on your specific needs—mortgage, kids, business obligations, and more.
What’s the difference between term and whole life insurance?
Term life is temporary and usually the most affordable option. Whole life lasts your entire life, has level premiums, and builds cash value. We’ll help you compare both options based on your goals.
Can I get life insurance without a medical exam?
Some policies, especially final expense or group life insurance through an employer, don’t require a medical exam. We’ll let you know which companies offer simplified underwriting.
Is there life insurance available for seniors in Michigan?
Yes. We help seniors find affordable final expense and permanent policies—even with pre-existing conditions. These plans are designed to cover funeral costs, outstanding debts, and more.
Can a small business buy life insurance for partners or employees?
Absolutely. We offer key person coverage, buy-sell funding, and group life insurance. These plans protect your company and provide real value to your team.
