Corporate-Owned Life Insurance (COLI) Canada | Tax-Efficient Planning | DMPG

A Strategic Financial Shield
For Your Business Pillars

Corporate-Owned Life Insurance (COLI) is a specialized wealth strategy where your business owns, pays for, and is the beneficiary of life insurance on key stakeholders.

By using lower-taxed corporate dollars instead of high-tax personal income to fund premiums, your business maximizes capital efficiency. Beyond protection, COLI creates a growing financial asset on the company balance sheet, offering tax-deferred growth and versatile liquidity options for the firm.

When a claim occurs, the death benefit flows into the company's Capital Dividend Account (CDA), allowing the corporation to distribute millions to shareholders or heirs completely tax-free.

COLI ADVANTAGES

Secure Your Business Legacy

Transform your business from a taxable entity into a wealth-preserving legacy. COLI offers the most efficient wealth transfer mechanism for Canadian owners.

CDA Tax-Free Flow

Death benefits credit the Capital Dividend Account, enabling tax-free wealth transfer to shareholders.

Corporate Funding

Pay premiums using corporate income taxed at 12-27%, rather than personal income taxed up to 54%.

Buy-Sell Liquidty

Provides immediate cash to fund the buyout of a deceased partner's shares without using bank loans.

Loan Collateral

Leverage the policy's cash value to secure business loans, improving firm liquidity and credit access.

Estate Equalization

Ensures fair inheritance for heirs not active in the business by providing cash offsets for corporate shares.

Asset Accumulation

Permanent policies grow a tax-exempt cash reserve that strengthens the company's balance sheet.
