The Basics to Fund IBC
If you’re a business owner and investor, you may have several streams of revenue and questions on how to use them. In this case, is there an ideal way to fund IBC policies? And how can you creatively manage your cash flows for maximum efficiency? These are important questions to be asking as you work to build your pool of capital and use it, too.
Foremost, building capital takes capital. In this case, your capital is your premiums and PUAs. When you pay them, you’re contributing directly to your cash value. If you don’t have the cash flow to fund your policy without taking on debt, you’re not in a position to start a policy.
For example, if you wanted to use business assets to pay premiums, then use the cash value to pay back those assets, you’re actually doing things backward. What will happen is that you have to take a policy loan, so you’ll just be creating more and more debt that can get out of control, and adding interest on top. If you want to leverage your cash value, you want to leverage it for new assets that bring in cash value, not old assets. Otherwise, you’re just taking from yourself and reducing your reserves.
How Do You Find Money in Your Business?
But what if you do have assets in your business that you can use and won’t require you to replenish those assets? That way, you can still use those first years as a growth phase, which will give you a stronger capitalization phase later on.
One way to find money in your business is to save money on taxes. You can do this, depending on the advice of your CPA, by choosing to have an S-Corp instead of an LLC, for example. This may help you to reduce your taxes, thereby giving you some extra capital to funnel into a policy. Of course, there are other tax reduction strategies that you can look into with your CPA with similar results.
[17:00] “You do need to pay the IRS what’s fair and square, but you don’t need to tip them. You don’t need to pay what’s more than necessary. So it’s about being strategic—it’s not finding loopholes, it’s using the tax code.”
Another way to find money is to reduce expenses elsewhere. Many of your bills are likely negotiable, and it doesn’t hurt to try. If you have a brick-and-mortar business, many of your overhead expenses can likely be negotiated. In addition, you can raise your insurance deductibles to lower your monthly cost. You can then use the difference to accelerate your IBC savings. If an accident does occur, you’ve got capital in reserves.
You can also increase your cash flow in ways that don’t have a significant cash investment, so you can use all additional cash flow for your life insurance policy.
