Ever feel like every insurance advisor’s just another smooth-talking salesman with one trick in their holster?

You’re not alone. Many business owners we meet are fed up with insurance professionals who:

✖ Offer one-size-fits-all policies without learning your exit goal

✖ Cause chaos during your most sensitive business moments

✖ Have zero knowledge of your industry or transaction timeline

✖ Push you to sign on Day One just to earn their commission check

Gamble with your company like it’s not your life’s work

✖ Bury policies in loose ends and bad documentation

At TIE BUCKLE, we operate differently:

We carry the discipline of US Marines and the resolve of cowboys who know what it means to move something valuable across hostile ground. There are no shortcuts here. Just careful planning, honest talk, and a relentless commitment to protect what matters.

We understand our clients before we take the first step.

We rope the chaos,follow a proven process and walk it in straight.

And we ride every mile with our clients—start to finish.


The Truth About Where You’re Headed

You’re not just buying insurance.

You’re heading into a defining moment:

the exit of your company.


This isn’t theory—it’s real money, real timing, and real consequence.

And the real problem?

Most business owners don’t know how to structure coverage

that makes them stronger post-exit—not more exposed to disappointment.

Worse, many agents treat the actual exit like an afterthought.


You’re not just exiting a business.

You’re handing off a chapter of your identity.

We understand how hard it is to separate your life’s work from your sense of purpose.

That’s why we don’t just sell policies.

We protect your story.

Our Commitment to You

We understand that your business isn’t just a balance sheet—it’s your legacy. You’ve poured years of grit, sacrifice, and identity into building it. That’s why we believe a poorly placed insurance policy isn’t just a financial risk—it’s a failure to honor everything you’ve built.


At TIE BUCKLE, we commit to treating your life’s work with the respect it deserves—through clear strategy, disciplined execution, and unwavering care. You won’t just get a policy. You’ll get a partner who carries the weight with you.

The provisions, riders and optional additional features of this product have limitations and restrictions, and may have additional charges. Contracts are subject to state availability, and certain restrictions may apply.

Issuance of the life insurance policy depends, in part, on answers to health questions in the application.

Permanent life insurance is a long-term contract.

Indexed interest crediting rates are subject to a cap, spread and/or participation rate. Caps, spreads and participation rates are subject to change at the discretion of Fidelity & Guaranty Life Insurance Company.

All commission options are subject to the terms of the commission schedule and agent contract. Compensation may vary by contract, please consult your commission schedule for complete details.

Information concerning tax or estate planning should not be considered tax or legal advice. Clients should consult their own tax professional or attorney regarding their unique situation.

When allocating account value into the indexed interest accounts, it's important to understand how these accounts are managed. Fidelity & Guaranty Life Insurance Company placed money into the indexed interest account up to twelve times per year on the 15th of every month (or the first business day thereafter.)

It is important to note that when the declared participation rate is greater than 100% and the index change percentage at the end of the index term period is 0 or negative, no index interest credits will be applied to the account value.

Surrenders, withdrawals and loans will reduce available death benefit and may be subject to surrender charges. Surrenders and withdrawals beyond basis may be taxable income and subject to penalties if taken prior to age 59 ½. Excessive and unpaid loans will reduce policy values and may cause the policy to lapse. In order to receive favorable tax treatments on distributions made during the lifetime of the insured (including loans), a life insurance policy must satisfy a 7-pay premium limitation during the first seven policy years. A new 7-year limitation will be imposed after certain policy changes. Failure to satisfy this limitation would cause your policy to be considered a Modified Endowment Contract (MEC).

This document is not a legal contract. For the exact terms and conditions, refer to the life contract.

The Index applies a bespoke volatility control mechanism to identify changing market conditions using intraday data and stabilize the overall level of risk of the Index. The volatility control calculation applied by Morgan Stanley as part of the Index’s methodology may decrease the Index’s performance and thus the return of any product linked to the Index. In addition, because the volatility control calculation is expected to reduce the overall volatility of the Index, it will also reduce the cost of hedging certain products linked to the Index.

Morgan Stanley may transact derivative transactions linked to the Index. Potential purchasers of products linked to this Index should refer to the full offering document for important information concerning such products, including the related risk factors and make their own appraisal of the risks and suitability of such products.

Volatility control seeks to provide smoother returns and mitigate sharp market fluctuations. While this type of strategy can lessen the impact of market downturns, it can also lessen the impact of market upturns, potentially limiting upside potential.
