Health Insurance for Business Owners

Owners usually have two questions at once: what covers me and my family, and what should we offer the team. Those can be answered together, and often should be.

Owner Coverage vs Group Coverage

  • Sole owners with no employees typically buy individual coverage
  • Group plans generally require a minimum number of enrolled employees, which varies by state and carrier
  • Group coverage may allow the business to contribute toward premiums
  • Some owners maintain individual coverage while offering an alternative arrangement to staff

What a Review Looks At

  • Household needs, including dependents and prescriptions
  • Employee count, locations, and participation expectations
  • Budget for employer contribution, if any
  • Renewal timing so changes line up with the plan year
