\"\"<\/a>There is an opportunity for your company to pay for Reduced Cost Life Insurance which may be leveraged between different tax<\/div>\n

brackets, either between your company and yourself and\/or your company and a key employee.\u00a0 At Himmelstein Financial, we design a solution for business members which allows for a transfer of capital from the corporation with limited tax implications, thus, providing substantial benefits that are very lightly taxed to either the business owner, as a participant, or a key employee.<\/p>\n

\n

There must be a separation of tax brackets or entities in order for the full benefits to be realized.\u00a0 One also needs a life insurance policy which allows the corporation to provide the owner or key employee a deferred compensation benefit.\u00a0 The life insurance contract is the vehicle which makes this possible.Additional appropriate questions<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Is it more important for the business to get their money back or to have whatever it spends as premium as a write-off?<\/li>\n
  2. Does the business want any type of vesting schedule or does the employee have to be completely vested to receive the benefit (golden handcuffs)?<\/li>\n
  3. Is the business or participant most interested in Death Benefit?<\/li>\n
  4. Are there any real health challenges in the proposed participants that they are aware of?<\/li>\n
  5. Does the business have any specific agreements or contracts it wants to fulfill with these contracts? (Buy Sell Succession, Key Man, Deferred compensation, Estate Liquidity for owners)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What will the Business Accomplish by establishing a plan?<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Provide the owner or key employee a deferred compensation benefit<\/li>\n
    2. Differentiation from other businesses that have not made any plans.\u00a0 This makes it more attractive to employees as well.<\/li>\n
    3. Potential Golden Handcuffs<\/li>\n
    4. Turning lesser taxed business dollars to lightly or tax-free dollars to the participants in the form of benefits at their higher tax bracket personally<\/li>\n
    5. Potential no out of pocket costs to the business<\/li>\n
    6. Opportunity to leverage the corporate dollar to get a substantial write-off<\/li>\n
    7. A method of insuring that agreements and obligations will be met.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
