Another variation is the Buy Sell Agreement, which covers a broader scope of ownership interests, including common stock, preferred stock, or membership interests in the case of a limited liability company (LLC). In addition to the basic terms of the agreement, the option to fund the stock purchase through life insurance may be included.

By utilizing life insurance, the shareholders can ensure that the necessary funds are available in the event of a death, thus avoiding potential financial strain on the corporation. The premiums for this life insurance policy are typically paid by the corporation with the expectation that the policy will be used to purchase the deceased shareholder's or key employee's shares. Overall, the Virginia Buy Sell or Stock Purchase Agreement with the option to fund the purchase through life insurance provides a framework for the orderly transfer of ownership interests in a closely held corporation. It protects the interests of the shareholders and ensures the continuity and sustainability of the corporation in the face of unforeseen events such as the death of a shareholder or key employee.
