The Buy-Sell Agreement Life (Insurance) serves as a crucial business succession planning tool in Pakistan, designed to ensure smooth transition of business ownership upon specific triggering events. This document is particularly vital for private businesses, partnerships, and family-owned enterprises operating under Pakistani jurisdiction. It combines elements of corporate law, insurance regulations, and succession planning, establishing predetermined terms for the purchase of a deceased owner's business interest. The agreement specifies how the purchase will be funded through life insurance policies, ensuring liquidity for the transaction. This type of agreement must comply with various Pakistani regulations, including the Insurance Ordinance 2000, Companies Act 2017, and where applicable, Takaful Rules 2012. It's commonly used when business owners want to protect their enterprise's continuity while providing financial security for their heirs.
