An Insured Retirement Plan (IRP) is a financial solution designed to provide permanent life insurance coverage along with tax-efficient retirement income planning. This plan helps your business accumulate cash value inside a tax-exempt life insurance policy, creating a valuable financial asset. Unlike traditional taxable investments, the IRP leverages the policy’s cash value to generate a tax-free stream of income during retirement, benefiting business-owners and key executives. Additionally, it ensures essential permanent life insurance coverage, protecting your business against unforeseen circumstances while offering powerful tax-saving advantages and strategic estate planning opportunities.
An Insured Retirement Plan starts with business-owners or key executives purchasing a permanent life insurance policy and consistently funding premiums to grow its cash value. Once these values have sufficiently accumulated, typically after the guaranteed payment period and around retirement age, the policyholder assigns the policy as collateral to obtain a tax-free lump sum or regular income from a lender. Eventually, the loan balance is repaid using the policy’s death benefit, ensuring efficient wealth transfer to beneficiaries
