Corporate Tax, Estate Planning & Generational Asset Transfer
Effective estate planning can help to reduce or eliminate estate taxes when assets transfer from one generation to the next. Unfortunately quite often the executor is left paying a great deal of tax to the federal government. By implementing an efficient estate plan, we can help to ensure a smooth transfer, with minimal taxes and delays.

Shareholder Agreement Funding Strategies
Buy-Sell Insurance
You’ve built a business to be proud of and you want to be sure that the rewards of your hard work are protected regardless of untimely death, critical illness or retirement. In the event of unforeseen tragedy a buy-sell agreement can provide for suitable transfer of ownership to your chosen successors – be it a family member or business partner – as well as protection of assets. By creating a complete business continuation plan, we can ensure the continuation of your business – and your legacy.

Creditor & Key Person Life Insurance
While every company is a sum of its parts, chances are there are certain executive-level employees whose part is more integral than others. Their sudden absence due to a critical illness, disability or even death could provoke catastrophic instability in your business at all levels, both internally and externally.
With key person life insurance, we can provide your company with the financial support needed during a crisis in leadership, ensuring consistency, restoring confidence, and helping you prepare for the next steps of rehabilitation.

Critical Illness
Protecting your Business
Critical illness insurance provides cost-effective critical illness protection for key team members/business owners. It can fund a buy-sell agreement in the event one owner can’t continue in the business due to illness, satisfies the requirements of creditors for business loan protection and mitigates the disruption that can follow the serious illness of a key person, such as reduced productivity or recruiting and retaining replacement, by using the lump-sum as working capital.
Protecting Yourself
We may be fortunate to have a universal healthcare system here in Canada but the mistake many people make is believing that system will cover all the costly treatments, medications, tests and other expenses that you may need to survive a critical illness. The other mistake people make is believing it will never happen to them. With critical illness insurance you can be assured you’ll get the financial support you need to replace a loss of income, to access necessary treatments, and to concentrate on recovery.

Our on-site, one-on-one consultation with employees will address their individual retirement targets and ensure that their financial strategy is in line with their risk tolerance. We will help to create a strong financial plan for your employees that can be modified according to their current and future position. It’s about managing expectations, allowing for change, and keeping goals in focus.
