More Than a Safety Net, It’s a Financial Strategy

When most people think of life insurance, they picture a safety net—something to protect loved ones when they’re gone. But in the worlds of business and estate planning, it’s far more than that. Life insurance is a tool of leverage, liquidity, and legacy, playing a powerful role in ensuring business continuity, preserving family wealth, and unlocking long-term opportunities.

How It Works

Step 1

Initial Consultation & Discovery

Don Silversmith begins by collaborating with clients and their advisory teams to understand goals, financial priorities, and concerns—covering business structures, estate objectives, liquidity needs, and family or philanthropic priorities. A follow-up questionnaire captures additional details to guide tailored next steps.

Step 2

Strategy & Recommendations

Using the insights gathered, NexGen presents tailored, objective strategies that replace product bias with data-driven analysis. Multiple alternatives are stress-tested for cost efficiency, performance, and alignment with long-term goals, allowing clients to compare options, ask questions, and choose the approach that best meets their needs.

Step 3

Competitive Underwriting

Once a strategy is selected, NexGen initiates an open-bid underwriting process, inviting multiple leading carriers to compete. This ensures transparency, leverage, and the most favorable terms. Don then guides clients through the life insurance application and bid collection, delivering the best possible quotes without tying them to any single provider.

Step 4

Implementation & Ongoing Guidance

NexGen’s commitment extends beyond placing a policy. After carrier selection and plan implementation, NexGen provides ongoing stewardship—monitoring performance, benchmarking results, and coordinating with clients’ tax, legal, and investment advisors—to ensure each strategy continues to align with evolving goals, business needs, and family priorities.

“Don walked my estate planning team through the entire process while carefully outlining the possible problems with this strategy.”

In the end my family purchased a significant amount of life insurance that is part of our business succession strategy with minimal out of pocket cost. I would recommend to anyone looking at this strategy to give him a call.
