Corporate Owned Permanent Insurance

 

When should you consider Participating in Whole Life Insurance inside your Corporation? (Permanent Insurance)

  • You’re a significant shareholder in a Canadian Controlled Private Corporation
  • Age 40+ and healthy
  • The corporation has excess annual cash flow and/or investment assets not needed for business purposes. Typically, been in business for at least 5 years.
  • Want to maximize your estate and transfer assets in a tax-efficient manner
  • Looking for stable and predictable asset growth (asset diversification)

 

Suitability Reasons

✔️  Desire to pass corporate assets to a beneficiary?
✔️  Have corporate life insurance needs?
✔️  Own taxable passive investment assets?
✔️  Own corporate investments with a deferred capital gain?
✔️  Want a certain amount of estate value guaranteed?
