Securing Your Assets
In the realm of financial planning, life insurance is indispensable. It's a strategic asset for defending your investment gains. By opting for a range of life insurance options, you can shield yourself and your loved ones from the economic repercussions of unforeseen events, including accidents, health issues, disabilities, and even mortality, all while establishing an enduring endowment for those you hold dear.
Estate Conservation Strategies
For private corporation shareholders, navigating the complexities of taxation at the end of life—or in the case of married shareholders, upon the passing of the surviving spouse—can be daunting, with potential for significant tax implications. To counter this, corporations can leverage life insurance policies on shareholders, transforming corporate funds—often subject to higher tax rates—into the more tax-efficient vehicle of life insurance. This strategy allows for the growth of the policy's value and its eventual payout to occur free of taxes. Upon the demise of the shareholder, the corporation benefits from receiving the insurance proceeds without tax obligations. The proceeds, after accounting for the policy's adjusted cost basis, contribute to the capital dividend account, permitting a tax-exempt capital dividend distribution to the estate.
Asset Growth Through Life Insurance
Whole life insurance isn't just about lifelong coverage—it's also a savvy investment strategy. It provides a tax-free growth component, which is a smart move when considering the less favorable tax treatment of traditional corporate passive investments like savings accounts, stocks, mutual funds, or bonds. These can negatively impact your qualification for the small business tax rate. A strategic shift can be made by reallocating part of your passive assets into a tax-exempt life insurance policy, allowing these funds to increase in value tax-free while maintaining your eligibility for small business tax advantages.

Protection Against Critical Illness and Disability
Protection Against Critical Illness and Disability
Should you be faced with a critical illness that is listed in your policy, a tax-free capital sum will be promptly made available for your use. This benefit acts as a financial buffer, ensuring that you and your loved ones can withstand the monetary and emotional stress often associated with such illnesses. This protection becomes even more imperative if you are responsible for dependents.
​
Disability doesn’t discriminate—it can occur unexpectedly or emerge over time through chronic conditions, potentially robbing you of your livelihood. Disability insurance acts as a financial defense, providing you with a continuous stream of income if an illness or injury impairs your earning capacity. While many secure disability insurance through their workplace, it is vital to meticulously assess your group plan to grasp the extent of your coverage.
